Team Player Lyrics

I wake up screaming for my kingdom's crown.

The thorns bring my life into focus

I watch till the last name rolls up to the sky

In the theater of my mind



Is this all a dream?

Did your grandmother scream

As she saw your body breaking

A friend of a friend broke my heart in the end

Of a story that I swear just can't be



The one who smashed you wore the face of my friend

And I just can't let it go

It's over we're through

Throw salt on the wound

As I make my escape



Unfolded grey and black and white reads blue and white

and red all over

A single shot around the world and watch my head get

drawn and quartered



Read the right side and you're cold and apathetic

On the left you'll find my bleeding heart and me

So am I wasting all my time

I didn't do the crime after all



Can't you make this water any hotter?



I don't think you understand

This won't quite penetrate my skin

I need to bleach away the pain

It's not my fault but anyway

I just dont think you understand

This won't quite penetrate my skin

I need to bleach away the pain



A friend of a friend broke my heart in the end

Of a story that I swear just can't be
