Lyrics
There are no criminals in this case Just sudden strangers - An accomplice betrayed Feel like a fugitive with past to erase Shattered alibis - One slow getaway Acting so estranged - Once partners in crime Playing the victim - Until you break away Social experiment destined to break Left over side-effects we start to crave Motives don’t mean a lot at this stage The traits we hide behind overlay the blame Acting so estranged - Once partners in crime Playing the victim - Until you break away Staying the victim - Deserters parting ways Sensations giving out - Cast aside your pride It’s time to slip away… Playing the victim - Until you break away Staying the victim - Deserters parting ways
