Lyrics

Excuses turn to make

Excuses transform into actions or decisions.

And more than I am

Acknowledging a discrepancy between self-perception and reality.

I ghost my silly lies

Acknowledging deceptive behavior and lies.

And crucify my friends

Accepting responsibility for betraying or hurting friends.

It's only looking back

Reflecting on past actions and choices.

Am I looking for things

Searching for meaning or understanding in retrospect.

Break myself apart

Engaging in self-destructive behavior.

And I would do it again

Expressing a willingness to repeat past mistakes.


The stage turns all gone

Describing the end of a performance or phase.

The curtain still remains

Despite the end, the consequences or effects persist.

High as a puppeteer

Being in control like a puppeteer.

I pull all my restrains

Removing personal restraints or inhibitions.

I pull all my control

Exerting influence or control over oneself or others.

I can make a judge convinced

Confident in convincing others, possibly in a legal context.

But I know that spirit with

Acknowledging a spiritual connection or understanding.

I don't wanna be

Expressing a desire not to exist or be in a particular state.


The animals pulling teeth

Comparing difficult situations to pulling teeth from animals.

The guitar is stung with nothing

Describing a guitar with no strings, possibly symbolizing emptiness.

And never makes the beat

Stating that nothing is achieved without effort.

It's lonely now I laugh

Feeling isolated or detached, finding humor in loneliness.

While the master takes the break

During a break, someone else takes control or responsibility.

Who's counting all those tickets

Questioning the value or significance of achievements.


The stage turns all gone

Reiterating the end of a performance or phase.

The curtain still remains

Emphasizing the enduring impact or consequences.

High as a puppeteer

Being in control like a puppeteer, asserting dominance.

I 'm pulling all my strengths

Exerting strength or influence.

I pull all my control

Maintaining control over oneself or a situation.

I can make a judge convinced

Confident in convincing others, possibly in a legal context.

But I know that spirit quit

Acknowledging a spiritual connection or understanding.

I don't wanna be

Expressing a desire not to exist or be in a particular state.
