Long Live the Misanthrope

Where's the notion That I would be left out I wish you'd take me away with you I know I cursed you I know I had no doubt That all of you were the thorns of life Misanthropic tendencies I was the one who could never believe You broke my trust, all was lost You're all the same to me I made peace with solitude A farcical interlude The wrath made me a lonely soul The misanthrope lives on Through the burning sun A champion for the ages The hatred lives on The world goes numb A provocateur of life You won't affect me, I'm in control When I take the role of the misanthrope A well of emotion taking you back I won't be shaped Cause it never ever lasts Leave me alone Give me no words to keep No familiarity And I won't be deceived Where's the notion That I would be left out I wish you'd take me away with you I know I cursed you I know I had no doubt That all of you Were the thorns of life Misanthropic tendencies I was the one who could never believe You broke my trust, all was lost You're all the same to me I made peace with solitude A farcical interlude The wrath made me a lonely soul The misanthrope lives on Through the burning sun A champion for the ages The hatred lives on The world goes numb A provocateur of life You won't affect me, I'm in control When I take the role of the misanthrope A well of emotion taking you back I won't be shaped Cause it never ever lasts Leave me alone Give me no words to keep No familiarity And I won't be deceived A well of emotion taking you back I won't be shaped Cause it never ever lasts Leave me alone Give me no words to keep No familiarity And I won't be deceived
