Pyrite Pedestal

Once, while falling into approvals tricky arms
 I saw esteem's corpse
 Deafened by allure's sweet, sweet song
 On stygian shores
 Affixed like I'm under a spell (1x darling)
 That ain't even like myself
 No - things are going to change
 That starts today
 It seems just yesterday I ate it up
 Your yarns were dipped in gold
 I swallowed them whole
 The real tragedy is that your act is just boring and old
 Back and forth with this disdain (1x darling)
 That ain't even why I came (2x darling)
 And when I scream
 You want me crawling on my knees
 I guess these days I'm someone else (hold it x3)
 I'm better off all by myself
 These days I'm just somebody else
