The universe finds me Telling me where I need to go Have you ever had someone you trust Betray all of it for their self-righteous reasons? And have you had your murders be told by somebody else? The colors show themselves Watch out we have a contender Watch how they think they know But they really don't They do as they're told Watch me as I go On the way to the world I've created I can choose who is faded and stays I'll leave resentment behind Only trust your inner circle These core lessons take time And even if my lovers leave me for somebody else The story writes itself Have you ever had to tell of your murders? Watch out we have a contender Watch how they think they know But I really do And if I wanted you I can have that, too On the way to the world I've created I can choose who is faded and stays By the way I got love for your passions Even when it's clout chasing instead If you crawl back you can come back But watch what you say around me I got love (if you crawl back) where it counts (you can come back) I hope that we all can agree At what cost? At what cost? What's the cost? (Dear God, help me practice patience) what's the concept of fate? (Letting go will gift salvation) all the risks that we take (Tell me what it takes to be a martyr of massacre) only add to the stakes In the world I have created I'm loved and I'm hated It keeps it exciting By the way, I got love for your passions Even when it's clout chasing instead By the way, be afraid Cause I'll only stay silent when dead What's the cost? What's the debt? What's the cost? The piecing together of everything What's the cost?
