Manipulate Me Lyrics - The Thoughtlife

Instead of taking the blame for what you've done, 

you aim to mislead the mind, alter progression of time. 

As opposed to rendering the truth, you were corrupted. 

If this were right, we could have peace in our lives, 

so we tried to hold close to heart some things best kept in the dark. 

You set your sights on something simple to manipulate. 

Well I tried to reason, but this here is madness. 

They sold their souls for craving more, 

but weren't prepared to face the consequences of living in lies. 

I tried to stop dark thoughts from taking control of your mind, but I was living a lie. 

I fear failure to feel forever binds you here. 

If this were right, we could have peace in our lives, 

so we tried to hold close to heart some things best kept in the dark. 

You set your sights on something simple to manipulate. 

Well I tried to reason, but this here is madness. 

They sold their souls for craving more, 

but weren't prepared to face the consequences of living in lies. 

If this were right, we could have peace in our lives, 

so we pried through the dark for long lost remnants of heart. 

We pried through the dark, but the remnants, the remnants were lost. 

Our pride pursued a fantasy, yet everybody knew in our hearts, this stage was false. 

This world will never be what you want (to be what you want), so be what you want. 

We are not simply pawns led by cold twisted hearts. 

You set your sights on something simple to manipulate. 

Well I tried to reason, when reason was madness. 

They sold their souls for craving more. 

You set your sights on something simple. 

They sold their souls for something simple. 

You set your sights on something simple to manipulate. 

Well I tried to reason, but this here is madness. 

They sold their souls for craving more, 

but weren't prepared to face the consequences of living in lies.
