i never wanted to be a simple man

i'd rather live all my days as a lion

than a thousand as a lamb

i only wanted to see

what would happen to me

if i followed the road

that leads to the palace we all seek



did you come here lamenting what you missed

overcome and seduced by this

the beautiful abyss

what did you come here to see

what are you trying to be

you're like a shadow that swallows life

now you're crawling over me



the time's come again

it's nearing the end

but i feel no shame

do you feel the same

because i know i'll be alright

if i make it through tonight

well i swear i'll try to change

once again



try to change



innocence is a face that always lies

innocence is a wish for some

but it's something i can't buy

what are you trying to prove

so many mountains to move

and all your demons are heaven sent

my lost cathartik friend



try to change

try to change

try to change

try to change
