  • I don't care about the story
    I don't care about the myth
    I don't care how you see my life
    You haven't witnessed it
    Use fear as a weapon, and pity as a whip
    Convince everyone around
    That I'm a piece of sh...

    Enter scene, enter Judas
    Now give me a kiss
    You sold me out...
    Hold on, wait... What did I miss?
    Gossip gets you off
    But you couldn't resist
    You couldn't resist!

    Make me a sinner
    Because you paint the picture
    Buy your believers, you couldn't resist
    You couldn't resist!

    We're on the same side

    Friendly fire, honest liar
    Friendly fire, honest liar
    Friendly fire, honest liar
    Friendly fire, honest liar

    Exit scene, dim the lights
    Now here comes the twist
    You did this for me?
    Hold on, wait... What did I miss?
    Your good intentions? Ha, ha
    What do you get out of this?
    Get out of this?

    Make me a sinner
    Because you paint the picture
    Buy your believers, you couldn't resist
    You couldn't resist!

    We're on the same side

    Friendly fire, honest liar
    Friendly fire, honest liar
    Friendly fire, honest liar
    Friendly fire, honest liar

    Does it make you feel alive?
    Does it make you feel so high?
    How does it feel? How does it feel?

    So you think it's your place
    And you think you're so brave
    Shit-slinging
    I'll tell you now what I see
    A child's insecurities, projecting
    From the sidelines, a critic
    A voice that won't admit it
    That you have never risked it
    How vicarious the cynic
    My Judas, my brother
    My Judas, my brother

    Make you feel so high
    Does it make you feel so high?
    Does it make you feel alive?
    Does it make you feel so high?
    How does it feel? How does it feel?
