The Straightener

Long ago I wandered through my mind,
In the land of fairy tales and stories,
Lost in happiness I didn't know fears,
Innocence and love was all I knew,
Was an illusion

Soon the days were passing into haze,
Happiness just didn't come so easy,
Life was bored of fairy tales and daydreams,
Innocence was just another word,
Was an illusion

Lost in the wheels of (confusion/delusion),
Running through valleys of tears
Eyes full of angered illusion,
Hiding in ev'ry day dream

So I found that life is just a game,
But (you've known/you know) there's never been a winner,
Try your hardest, you'll still be a loser,
The world will still be turning when you've gone
Yeah when you've gone!
