lyrics
You good for nothing has-beens
Get back in your time machine (Oh)
I’ll shoot you down, tear you apart verbally for everything that you’ve been
Your lack of concern at every turn, has never ceased to amaze me
Actions really do speak louder than words, it’s very clear
Emerald Queens don’t bother calling, calling (Emerald Queens be careful what you wish for)
Stay away from me
I have no more time for your lack of insincerity (you are not my family)
Emerald Queens you are not welcome, welcome
The door is locked, walk away, I’ve thrown the key
I have no more time for your constant hypocrisy
Your iridescent halo’s slipped
And now everyone can see (Oh)
Exactly how you’ve been, and how you continue to be towards me
Constantly trying to put out my light but it continues to burn bright
With your double-edged compliments, I cut down with my sword
Go to hell, get out of my sight
Emerald Queens don’t bother calling, calling (Emerald Queens be careful what you wish for)
Stay away from me
I have no more time for your lack of insincerity (you are not my family)
Emerald Queens you are not welcome, welcome
The door is locked, walk away, I’ve thrown the key
I have no more time for your constant hypocrisy
It’s in your mind
No, it’s not
Your starting to miss the plot
All the years, and the tears and the ever-present dot
On the landscape of our lives
The preoccupations and all your lies
Every time, all the fear, of having to be near
The pounding in my chest, your constant dis-respect
Killing you with kindness, it never worked
Jealousy, envy and a perpetual need to hurt
You’re nothing to me, at the end of the day, I’m walking away
You’re nothing to me and I’m walking away (and I’m walking away)
You’re nothing to me and I’m walking away (and I’m walking away)
You’re nothing to me and I’m walking away (and I’m walking away)
You’re nothing to me and I’m walking away
Take it or leave it
I don’t give a damn
The bridge is burned now
It will never mend
One step too far now, just like I knew you always would, you would
Karma it always rules in the end
The mighty protector, the brave genuine friend
We have our Freedom.
We are our own family.
