dont change your ways on my account

from your own true man by Dan Johnson

/

lyrics

you watch the world burn without batting an eye
you dont care who lives or dies
as long as the check is written for the right amount
i can feel your eyes and your icy calm
i can’t shake your words they’re like burning napalm
don’t change your ways on my account

you laugh to yourself say everything dies
you lie to yourself you say everyone lies
really your whole life is in doubt
you slam the door saying lets be friends
as the story begins so the story ends
but dont change your ways on my account

going to bed with you is like going to war
your lovers dying you look bored
your lovers screaming and you cant hear a sound
its you against the world in the heavyweight ring
but you never fought for a goddamn thing
but dont change your ways on my account

you dissect your love with a boxcutter brain
looking in your eyes is like staring down a train
youre the rainmaker walking through the land of drought
you cant see all the pain you cause
because you’re listening for the studio applause
but dont change your ways on my account

a spider in a web with a venom heart
i guess we all have to play our part
you enter the stage and the knives come out
your footprints are made out of blood
you can crush a man like he was made out of mud
dont change your ways on my account

you talk about illusion buddhism and truth
i say youre a killer and you ask me for proof
the judge is trying to decide what youre really about
time is a prison but you were born inside
youre trapped inside a mirror where youre pretending to hide
dont change your ways on my account
