I only know how to lie, I guess I really can’t dodge it this time
No law to pardon my crime, no clemency for this evil of mine
Things don’t look better today, the mask I wear is crumbling away
Lapsing in depravity, I didn’t see what had happened to me

Come here, no go away, stay…
“I’ve hidden it away”

Mayday! If you find out that it’s me, no need to hold me close, in fact just leave me be
Hey mayday! If you find out that it’s me, all that I ask is that you simply laugh at me

I know I’m nothing more than an empty ghost
An empty shell of lies, and it haunts me so

Although “NO” is what I meant, for some reason “YES” is what I said
The bad thing ‘bout having regrets is if you can fool them, then you’re innocent
Playing the victim are you? Just fix it up with a prayer or two
So busy blabbing away, unknown to me, I was digging my own grave

The guilt, is here to stay, so grey…
Manipulate away

Mayday! Go ahead and fire away, since honesty is hard for me to find these days
Hey mayday! Go ahead and judge away, I chose to be this kind of person anyway

I know I’m nothing more than a wandering ghost
An empty shell that’s nothing but a void at most

Wishing for everything I was lacking in, I was greeted by a person that was nothing like me
Even so I couldn’t help but go with it, sinking ever deeper in the sea
Love me please I’m begging you, I know I’m not much, but then again I’m made of ego-selfishness
When you look at me who do you really see? This lonely toxic clown could be...

Mayday! If you find out that it’s me, no need to hold me close, in fact just leave me be
Hey mayday! If you find out that it’s me, all that I ask is that you simply laugh at me

Mayday! Go ahead and fire away, since honesty is hard for me to find these days
Hey mayday! Go ahead and judge away, I chose to be this kind of person anyway

Mayday! Tell them who I really am, since everything I know’s about to meet its end
Hey mayday! Tell me who I really am, did you figure out the me you knew was just a sham?

I know I’m nothing more than an empty ghost
An empty shell of lies, and it haunts me so
I know I’m nothing more than a wandering ghost
An empty shell that’s nothing but a void at most

I only know how to lie, I guess I really can’t dodge it this time
No law to pardon my crime, no clemency for this evil of mine
