you're up against the wall compassion heals while duplicity kills you say I'm different the only thing different is the way I feel about you You moved up the ladder at a very rapid speed we mived methodically and calmly when you got to the top you see enemies if I knew back then what I know that it would all turn out like this I'd sit back and I'd watch you squirm cause you say I'm different the only thing different is the way I feel about you.....
