Terrible Slave Lyrics

If I could be honest

Your promises never meant much in my design

You've got your vocation

But I've got my mission

I've got my own vision

In my own mind

Did you really believe I would fall for your ploy

To be traded around like I'm somebody's toy?

And I'm wary of your lies

The shameless ambition behind your eyes

I've seen before

The dream beyond

The world behind

The life you lead

It could never be mine

I don't fit in

I won't behave

I must admit

I'm a terrible slave

Didn't you notice that I'm a man on a mission?

If I could be honest

I never did promise to offer you my heart

You never believed in me

You simply needed me to be a stand-in

To play my part

Didn't I play the part I was destined to play?

Didn't you lose a game that was lost either way?

The dream beyond

The world behind

The life you lead

It could never be mine

I don't fit in

I won't behave

I must admit

I'm a terrible slave

Didn't you notice that I'm a man on a mission?

Waiting

Hoping

Grasping

Groping

Probing places

Questions deep in my mind

The dream beyond

The world behind

The life you lead

It could never be mine

I don't fit in

I won't behave

I must admit

I'm a terrible slave

The dream beyond

The world behind

The life you lead

It could never be mine

I don't fit in

I won't behave

I must admit

I'm a terrible slave

Is it beyond you to comprehend?

Are you unable to understand?

Haven't you recognized I'm a man on a mission?
