Team Player Lyrics

I wake up screaming for my kingdom's crown.
The thorns bring my life into focus
I watch till the last name rolls up to the sky
In the theater of my mind
Is this all a dream?
Did your grandmother scream
As she saw your body breaking
A friend of a friend broke my heart in the end
Of a story that I swear just can't be

The one who smashed you wore the face of my friend
And I just can't let it go
It's over we're through
Throw salt on the wound
As I make my escape
Unfolded grey and black and white reads blue and white and red all over
A single shot around the world and watch my head get drawn and quartered

Read the right side and you're cold and apathetic
On the left you'll find my bleeding heart and me
So am I wasting all my time
I didn't do the crime after all
Can't you make this water any hotter?

I don't think you understand
This won't quite penetrate my skin
I need to bleach away the pain
It's not my fault but anyway
I just dont think you understand
This won't quite penetrate my skin
I need to bleach away the pain

A friend of a friend broke my heart in the end
Of a story that I swear just can't be
