Confetti rains on a parade Of gurneys and tourniquets Stained with the blood Of those caught in my wake We all celebrate While she's walking away I wouldn't let you drown And yet I dragged you down I couldn't hear the sound Of your stifled breath Over my cries for conquest I wouldn't let you drown And yet I dragged you down I couldn't hear the sound Brace for the moment When you get everything you want Does it look like you pictured Or did bleeding for more Only leave you with less When your eyes adjust To the settling dust See what you have done To the ones you love For your one true love There's blood under my fingernails But it isn't mine But it isn't mine this time I wouldn't let you drown And yet I dragged you down I couldn't hear the sound It's a shame how you toil Leaving love to pick up the scraps While you're fed and you're spoiled A sad kid in a party hat Was her care and affection Just not enough for you Was it all a distraction Like you got better things to do Are you really so blind Have you forgotten Who stands behind Every great man Every great man Every great man Well the greatness that you seek Is a Pyrrhic victory All is vanity All is vanity What a shame How you just watched your love Wither away In the name Of your vainglorious bid All for some greater escape Don't wanna bleed for nothing Don't wanna bleed for nothing Don't wanna bleed for nothing But who sacrificed in the end? Don't wanna bleed for nothing But who sacrificed in the end?
