Equivalent Exchange Video (MV)

Pride goeth before the fall
I should've been there for you when you were feeling small
Nobody knows the trouble that you've been through
Invisible except to the ones that needlessly hate you
After all these years, you look right in a suit instead of a gown
I hate to say it son, but I finally see you now
Stare down the murderer in my eyes, knowing he ain't what you deserved
And I remember what you said that night
"Ain't there some innocence you wanna preserve, instead of actin' like
Your life ended the day that mine began?"
Now I am lost in wonder
No such thing as a miracle heavensent
Wish I had known when I was younger
At the expense of someone else's pain and heartbreak I finally found my way
And the worst part is I've already forgotten your face
Apollo burdened me with prophecy
I cursed your name not knowing time was listening
I was born to lose love and grow old without you
Like tossing old shoes aside once I have gone and worn them through
Trying to transfuse a god's soul into mine, but it's so far out of my range
Trading out fluoxetine for alkaline, and treat love like it's equivalent exchange
Swore by the Book that my faith had no worth
Prayed lightning should've struck me down
I think it would have taken my life had a kid not lost his when a shot rang out
Your life ended the day that mine began
Now I am lost in wonder
No such thing as a miracle heavensent
Wish I had known when I was younger
At the expense of someone else's pain and heartbreak I finally found my way
And the worst part is I've already forgotten your face
