You said you needed water So I built the house from sand When it sank into the ocean The blood was on my hands You left me in a limbo A catch 22 By saving my own life Made me the murderer of you When I know I can claim it as just self-defence Protecting the illusion of my permanent innocence Because if guilty was besides the point It has to be me, I have to be Your destroyer I don't wanna, but I have to be Your destroyer I don't wanna, but I have to be Your destroyer Oh, I have to be, oh, I have to be A villain of the movie, just a victim of the times You dress me up and use me Fit the story you designed Oh, I yearned for your approval Until I didn't recognize me either Two tickets for a funeral When you blow up the hand that feeds ya Oh, I can claim it as just self-defence Protecting the illusion of my permanent innocence Because if guilty was besides the point It has to be me, I have to be Your destroyer I don't wanna, but I have to be Your destroyer I don't wanna, but I have to be Your destroyer Oh, I have to be Your destroyer
