How many times,
can they fill me with lies

And I listen again,
while they twist the truth.

They play around with my head,
The things they will do and the things they will say.

But they don't really understand.
Tears fill my eyes when I hear all the lies.

Just leave me alone,
I don't want your promises anymore.

Looking through eyes of time,
mirrors reflecting their stories untrue.

Promises, promises,
telling me all of my glories overdue.

How many times have I heard it before,
and I'll probably hear it again.

King of a thousand knights,
pawn in a table light, losing to you.

And they don't really know even,
what they're talking about.

Even the stories that they tell me,
in times of confession are not true.

Outcome is obvious for them,
none for us, just meaningless lies.

The things they will do,
and the things they will say.

When they don't really understand,
The fear of rejection.

I don't need their protection,
I'm making a stand.
