No surprises, last page first
Upfront, no lies, truth until it hurts
Another chapter, another verse
Forked tongues, pretty words, unspoken bridges burned
I should've known, never could
Dare I say, got me good
I think I won't, you think I would
Leave well enough alone
Never have, never will
Been in the red, left the bill
Settle up, I owe you still
A promise to fulfill
It's time to face the music
Tears laced with excuses
Wasn't supposed to be me
Running from this prophecy
Good intentions blowing by hell's road signs
Fell into the depths, thought, "no regrets"
How naïve to believe, I could make it out alive
Marching footsteps, here they come
A spineless shiver, they know what you've done
Pointed finger, loaded gun
Wreckage, reckonings, going, going, numb
Rock bottom, empty throne
Saved a seat, next to my ghost
Scorched earth, "Here Lies" in stone
Last laugh echoes on
It's time to face the music
Tears laced with amusement
Wasn't supposed to be me
Running from this prophecy
Good intentions blowing by hell's road signs
Fell into the depths, thought no regrets
How naïve to believe, I could make it out alive
Double-crossed, double-dutched
Straight into the flames
Rose up, flew away
Phoenix is my name
Double-crossed, double-dutched
Straight into the flames
Rose up, flew away
Phoenix is my name
Wasn't supposed to be me
Running from this prophecy
Good intentions blowing by hell's road signs
Dove into the depths, now it's no regrets
How naïve to believe, I could make it out alive
It's time to face the music
Tears laced with excuses
How naïve to believe, I could make it out alive
