We let you in to be part of the set up
In two short years we became your prey
With your web of lies, yeah, you never let up
In the city of thieves you never had no shameYeah, you feel no shame
You just live a wasted life, yeah, you feel no pain
Strike a match and pray for kerosene rain
Strike a match and prayWhat's it like to be a hammer
In a house that's made of glass?
Kicking down walls to make them shatter
Dark reflections from the past
You couldn't make it lastYeah, you feel no shame
You just live a broken life, yeah, you feel no pain
Yeah, you feel no shame
Strike a match and pray for kerosene rainYou wanted me to treat you like a brother
You promised me you'd treat me just the same
Now there's one too many victims under the covers
So it's time to walk awayYeah, you feel no shame
You just live a wasted life, yeah, you feel no pain
Yeah, you feel no shame
Strike a match and prayYeah, you feel no shame
You just live a broken life, yeah, you feel no pain
Yeah, you feel no shame
Pray to God you don't come back again
