The Deceiver Songtext
von Mike Noga

For the first time
I gave my soul to the chorus line
For the first time
I crept my way through the dark
And for the first time
I sang like a killer in a cold store
And for the first time
The deceiver gave me more

And I′m already gone
I'm already gone
I′m already gone to the floor
Caught in the storm


Look at me here
I've turned myself to a beam of light
I'm a flash in the clouds
A lampshade to the storm
And look at me here
A gate keeps banging as I wander by
And I′m rising above
While you′re staring at the sky

And I'm already gone
I′m already gone
I'm already gone to the floor
I′m caught in the storm

And what I wouldn't give
To take your heart on a rainy day
Give me something to live for
A shadow on your floor
And what I wouldn′t take
I leave for you in a warm light
I'll give you something to break
A puppet for your cause


And I'm already gone
I′m already gone
I′m already gone to the floor
I'm caught in the storm
And I′m already gone
I'm already gone
I′m already gone to the floor
I'm caught in the storm

Mary turned just in time to see Raymond grow too fast
He crouched down in the dirt like a dog struck charged
She wailed at the stars and read the final chapter

That final is what they would be
Alone in the dark stripped, formed, broken in two
She saw rage at its worst and tasted the darkest of fruits
"Please, God, don′t let this happen to me
What have I done to deserve this?
What have I even done?"
She turned her neck, looked me in the eye and smiled
She felt nothing
