Light This City Lyrics

3. The Unwelcome Savior

You will find that some of the most exquisite eyes 
Mask the cruellest secrets 
A villainess in a goddess disguise 
I grew to easily distinguish your lies 
Your glossy, sincere smile, always too eager to please 

Everything good, everything hopeful that you ever said 
An obvious falsity, another loss of innocence 
The only truths you'd rarely let escape 
Horrifying enough to chill even the most shadowed soul 
You fucked up everybody's life you touched 
How's that for an accomplishment? 
"Surprise! I made you this exclusive key to my closet." 
Well I never asked to see your skeletons. 

How many crimes did you commit, guiltless and without mercy 
Before you realized you longed to be caught? 
In a way, I think you knew your secrets 
Would break me and I'd confess for you 
If you had played this desperate game more cunningly 

Everything good, everything hopeful that you ever said 
An obvious falsity, another loss of innocence 
The only truths you'd rarely let escape 
Horrifying enough to chill even the most shadowed soul 
You fucked up everybody's life you touched 
How's that for an accomplishment? 
"Surprise! I made you this exclusive key to my closet." 
Well I never asked to see your skeletons. 

I could have been your prisoner, your protege, or your slave 
But you succumbed to jealousy, an imaginary rivalry 
You'd never admit it, who could possibly rival a queen? 
But that's not at all what I mean 

I'd never pit myself against you 
You're right I'm sick with terror 
At the thought of being compared to you 
But not because I think I'd lose 

My one worst fear 
Is to become anything like you.
