Axel Gustaf - Chained to Changes

Neglected all the signs my soul was sold
My shoulder devil sighs: "Oh I told you so"
Time just keeps on ripping out pages
Keeping me locked in these hollow cages

Maybe I am just blind or trying to be
Cause everyone knew why before me
While the rest of me still ages
My mind's stuck, chained to changes

The neon god is dead, all hail the new one
High he once was held, now to be shunned
Guess I'll never know what he did wrong
Guess I'll never know where I belong
Your parents must be proud, how did you do it?
Oh, don't you ask me, cause I've yet to do it
It was purely time, who took me on his horse
Autodidactic freak show, next stop on the course
When I tried to shine, he gazed so grimly
He tried to show me signs, that the candle's fading
Making up my mind with made-up minds
Stars are not aligned, but left behind
By people who turned left, when told they're right
By people scared of death, when told they're alive
Don't know what I can lose until I have it
Don't know how long I can choose until you've had it

Neglected all the signs my soul was sold
My shoulder devil sighs: "Oh I told you so"
Time just keeps on ripping out pages
Keeping me locked in these hollow cages

Maybe I am just blind or trying to be
Cause everyone knew why before me
While the rest of me still ages
My mind's stuck, chained to changes

Too many writers in this anthology
Too many riders with bad apologies
I'm sorry that I lied, said I won't do that no more
Hey, at least you tried, now go knock on the next door
Grew up happily, I'll never be happy
Heard your life story, not that sappy
Taking the back seat, leaving the back streets
Of suburbian feats, riding on some other lonely poor soul's beats
I can't tell my left from my right
Cause I went fully blind with you that night
Never said I was a saint, don't plan to be one
Redemption a la psycho has just begun
How could I be wrong if I've always been right?
Did I flick a switch off that made me alive?
Told I was Messiah, by familial liars
When I haven't learned to put out my own fires

Saw the signs my soul was sold
My shoulder devil sighs: "Oh I told you so"
Time just keeps on ripping out pages
Keeping me locked in these hollow cages

Again I made you cry, though it's just a game
If you'd look you'd know why, can't choke the shame
While the rest of me still ages
My mind's stuck, chained to changes
