What did you expect? 
Fools often sometimes forget 
Who really knows what's the truth 
Often dignified 
How funny changing the tide 
Feels like you already knew 

(Praise) like the devil 
(Connect) you would never 
(Sick Man) running circles 
Feels like you already knew 

(Praise) like the devil 
(Connect) you would never 
(Sick Man) running circles 
Feels like you already knew 

Save you 
I would never 
Deny you 
Even though your hate for me is strong 

(See) I'm not what you 
(Think) I'm the one who'll 
(Be) what you never 
Thought would be nothin' and now 

(Afraid to open your eyes) 
And now you realize 

Always you lived in a dream 
How would it feel if you could 
See past the lies 
Oblivious to all of my cries 
No hope when I knew that you could 

(Praise) like the devil 
(Connect) you would never 
(Sick Man) running circles 
Feels like you already knew 

(Praise) like the devil 
(Connect) you would never 
(Sick Man) running circles 
Feels like you already knew 

(Praise) like the devil 
(Connect) you would never 
(Sick Man) running circles 
Feels like you already knew 

(Praise) like the devil 
(Connect) you would never 
(Sick Man) running circles 
Feels like you already knew 

(Praise) like the devil 
(Connect) you would never 
(Sick Man) running circles 
Feels like you already knew
