I took the beauty and now it haunts me
The gold I intended to use for fighting shadows
Has only created its own shadows
As all material things must
I became everything I swore I'd never be
You let me be consumed by beauty
Just trying to find my own kind of beauty
Life became a being of greed and lust
I am now a slave to my own monotony
The gold I choose to chase
Now makes me cry when they fight the chase...
And I can't take too much of this
Every time I try to shoot, I shoot and miss
And I can't take this too much longer
Lying every day, telling you that I've grown stronger
And I can't take this another day
Smiling, telling everyone that I'm okay
And I can't take this any more
When you look at me, I just feel like...
I'm smaller than ever before.
