Revenge
Clear Vision Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Did you ever waste a thought
On what you do - on what I really feel
Did you ever try to understand
The way I see - the things I've planned
Did you ever recognize yourself, your deeds
In what we have achieved
Are you never worried about the fact
That you might ever be deceived?

Would you say that I was gruesome or crazy
I wouldn't say so, but possibly maybe
Sometimes I can be unpredictable, baby
So far agreed - so far agreed
I never did commit a crime worth to jail me

Did you ever play a game
You could not win - you were about to lose
Did you ever risk a whole lot more
Than you were ever to afford
Did you ever come across a man
That you'd suspect he might hurt you




Seems that you've encountered faith the day
You've chosen me to be betrayed
