Fool Me Once - Twisted Persistence Lyrics

With every step, I'm winning this game
The odds were dark, now they're shimmering gold
I'm breaking through, becoming bold

I fall apart across the distance
I'm not alright with your persistence
I'm clear-eyed now, and I see through your lies
I'm stretched too thin, across the line
I'm so torn up, you said you'd wait, now you're just twistin' my head

I think it's time to break free
I fall apart across the distance
I'm not alright with your persistence
I'm clear-eyed now, and I see through your lies

I'm stretched too thin, across the line
Your empty words, they're losing shine

I hold my ground, won't take the fall
Won't be held back by these walls
You played the strings, but I'm the maestro now
Cutting the cords, on my stage I take a bow

It's time to scream, let out the rage
Burn your deceit with the fire I've raised
I've built my fortress, I've locked the gate
No more your puppet, I'm sealing my fate

No more will I let you pull me down
You're just a shadow, I'm wearing the crown
