How many times 
Have you noticed that our eyes 
Hardly ever meet
From your judgment seat 
I feel the anger for my very being
Fill me in 
On when you became such a big part of my life
That I should bother 
With all your lies designed to bring me down
Wrong again 
Don't depend 
On any reaction again

I remember the icy walls
That shot up from nowhere
And I can see every lie that you've ever told yourself
You bleed me dry and I don't ask why 
But I'm left with the dust
Judas kiss I dismiss 
Thank you all for this 
I am untouched
Wait again 
I'm not through with the screaming
I contend 
That you've got nothing better to do

Trade my life for a barrel of gold
Find someone else before I get too old
If I live my life for aesthetic gain 
Will you repay me with all your shame

I can see every light inside your brain 
Go on every time that I walk by
For nods and whispers
Your comfort in my suffering 
Is no longer disturbing
I'm lost beyond your petty stopwatch 
In life's real time
Wait again 
I'm not through with the screaming
I contend 
That you've got nothing better to do

Trade my life for a barrel of gold
Find someone else before I get too old
If I live my life for aesthetic gain 
Will you repay me with all your shame

Don't get up 
I was slowly leaving the room
And when the door 
Of your judgment 
Swings back around again
Maybe I'll stop to watch 
And I'll go on my way
I've seen quite enough 
Of too many childish games
I'm ashamed of every moment 
That I ever gave them the time of day
All the worst of enemies 
Are somehow always 
Friends that used to be
