Idealize. Devalue. Discard.

(Intro)
Antichrist or anarchist?
Chaos is lost
But is dearly missed
Hanging my head
Eyes fixed on my feet
Waiting for the cycle to
Start to repeat

(Chorus)
Idealize me
Lead my soul astray
No one I've known
Has left me this way
Then she'll undo
Everything 'cept what
She put me through
Just another thing 
For her to devalue
The final part
She leaves me scarred
At an impasse
Where I'm forbidden to trespass
After all the lies
It is no surprise
But still hard
How you idealize, devalue, and discard

(Verse 1)
I guess from here I'll quietly retire
And watch from afar what I predicted transpire
Loneliness is not a feeling I've known
Loneliness is a place I call home

(Pre-Chorus)
I'll keep strumming along
To her siren song
I've been under her spell
For so long

(Repeat Chorus)

(Verse 2)
She wasted my time
Wasted all the time
Describing problems
But none were mine
Based on every word
About me that you said
You left someone you
Made up in your head

(Pre-Chorus)
I'll keep strumming along
To her siren song
I've been under her spell
But so long

(Repeat Chorus x2)
