Cautionary Tale歌詞

You assume all the roles
You've got this all yourself
Now it's taken a toll
You're not fooling anyone
So you self medicate
Who knows better than yourself
Now you've tempted fate
Might as well have grabbed a gun
So c'mon you're only foolin' yourself
I've seen all the signs I know them well
In the end you're just a cautionary tale
We don't talk much these days
Oh the hours slip away
A digital haze
Washes over everyone
An emotional fool
And you're drowning in a daze
Lost the golden rule
Always taking what you need
So c'mon you're only foolin' yourself
I've seen all the signs I know them well
In the end you're just a cautionary tale
We've all had our dreams
Though some have come undone
Busted out at the seams
Been the unfortunate one
All those superficial things
Distracting everyone
And try as you may
They won't wash the sad bits away
So just open up your eyes
Are you learning anything
It's not about what you take
This life's about what you bring
So c'mon we can't keep foolin' ourselves
We've seen all the signs and know them well
In the end we're just a cautionary tale
