Thick as Thieves (feat. Luke Emerson)

[Cass] Take me back to Carrol street and tell me it was right Cloaked in smoke we'd hide ourselves from the horrors in the night You told me I could speak the truth but a threat hung in the air I try and I try to forget your voice but still hear it everywhere [Luke and Cass] Alluding to some perfect past well I don't know what you're talking about Things I used to cherish leave a bad taste in my mouth Rewriting my life to make the man that you were desperately trying to be You pissed away your hopes and dreams, don't take it out on me [Cass] I'm getting tired of caring Of doing everything right just to get kicked aside again Your love is so unusual Hate me? The feeling's mutual! Don't try to play the victim when you turned on me How did you manage to convince yourself you were some martyr I betrayed? I was nothing but a game to you 'til I learned how to play Now I've seen the truth behind that smile you always wear Gilded eyes so condescending There never was a happy ending [Luke] There's no path for me to tread without guilt, abuse and pain I'll ask no forgiveness no permission start doin shit my way You carved a matching scar into a child that didn't know how to fight For every day I took your pain I give it back tonight [Cass] I'm growing bored of caring Of bleeding myself dry just to get left behind again Your love is cold and biblical Don't fucking call me cynical You never gave a damn so don't ask me to grieve [Cass] I'm sick to death of hearing If I keep taking the high road then I'll get what's owed to me I'm done with empty promises Turncoats and faulty harnesses How did we stray so far from living thick as thieves? How could I ever learn to love myself when all I am was stripped away? You swore to God that I was everything Till I was in your way [Solo: Cass] [Solo: Ahmed] So drown your sins in holy houses Paper dreams and plastic spouses Take the fools for all they're worth And do it all again Eat your fill but don't forget I haven't taken my cut yet And no amount of praying's gonna keep me away [Luke and Cass] Don't try to tell me that you've always loved me There's no excuse in hell that could save you now There's nothing you can say to me to make amends The only thing I want's your fucking heads
