Sybil Vane is Dead
Lyrics
I watched you snort drugs off of Dorian Gray
You used your ID to break the cocaine
You can't comprehend that that photo won't age
Keep going this way, you'll die just the same
How did we think we had it all figured out
The patterns were there, they just weren't imposed
This isn't the person you were meant to become
Reflective of nothing, rejoicing in wrongs
Your indulgence won't be framed
For you to hide away the shame
Yet you cover the traces
Of your lies and disgraces
And claim that you've been absolved
Your indulgence won't be framed
For you to evade the blame
So you lie to our faces
And expect our embrace when
You're faced with consequence now
I should - probably learn to walk the walk
Since I - sure as shit talk the talk
When I was still young enough to think I was deep
It carried convenience condemning others for change
But when my life became tainted by the passage of days
A truth was then painted that no brush could portray
One can't cast upon canvas the past I accused
I've since reconciled that relentless dispute
With each passing day I bear my sins and my scars
Because I'll fight to grow as I come to age
Your indulgence won't be framed
For you to hide away the shame
Yet you cover the traces
Of your lies and disgraces
And claim that you've been absolved
Your indulgence won't be framed
For you to evade the blame
So you lie to our faces
And expect our embrace when
You're faced with consequence now
I should - probably learn to walk the walk
Since I - sure as shit talk the talk
But at - least I'm trying to change
How is it you get through life thinking you're deep
Does it carry convenience to condemn us for change
If your life were to be painted beyond the confines of days
The picture would be tainted by all you've betrayed
You still cast upon others the past you accuse
And project upon loved ones that relentless dispute
With each passing day, you shun your sins and your scars
Because the rest us grew, but you've only aged
Your indulgence won't be framed
For you to hide away the shame
Yet you cover the traces
Of your lies and disgraces
And claim that you've been absolved
Your indulgence won't be framed
For you to evade the blame
So you lie to our faces
And expect our embrace but
You're alone with the consequence now
