Itâs time to leave this burning ship behind
Itâs time to come to terms and realise
Thereâs nothing to be found in that left behind
But reddish traces of forgotten crimes
And I fear the rage will grow above my head
When oil gets spilled, the fire fed
The precious bounds of forgiveness almost met
Indeed Iâm better off remembering instead
Every day I diagnose myself and I see more of what I hate
This canât be happening
Oh, cruel twist of fate
YOUR EQUAL, YOUR SEQUEL
(a copy of a copy)
PLEASE TELL ME IâM NOT [4x]
[chorus]
Iâm looking at a face I donât believe this canât be my legacy
SAY IâM NOT LIKE YOU, SWEAR I WONâT END UP LIKE THIS
What remains is courteousy and all the rest is history
SAY IâM NOT LIKE YOU, SWEAR I WONâT END UP LIKE THIS
Whatâs mine remains the bond between our lives
I see you in the mirror with my eyes
The spitting image of that worthless life
The shiny happy family a mere disguise
And yet I vow to myself Iâll change
The detriment done Iâll re-erase
No more will I be marked as what you made
Now all thatâs left is to face that Iâm afraid
Every day I diagnose myself and I see more of what I hate
This canât be happening
Oh, cruel twist of fate
Slip into your skin
Weed out the rot
And reap the right that lies within
Not repeat the mistake
And hate myself
But learn to accept my fate instead
[chorus]
YOUR EQUAL, YOUR SEQUEL
(a copy of a copy)
PLEASE TELL ME IâM NOT [4x]
