lyrics

I am the deceiver
Sour to my core
I'll tell you what you want to hear
And leave you wanting more

I have no use for sincerity
Or loyalty, it's true
I'll get my way however I can
Discard you when I'm through

I am the one who crosses the line
Never early or late; I'm always right on time
Right on time
Right on time
Right on time...

Some may say they know me
And call me friend (or foe)
All that matters to me, in the end
Is that it gets me where I want to go

I am the one who crosses the line
Never early or late; I'm always right on time
I won't wait up if you fall behind
If it gets me ahead, I'll cast you aside
Cast you aside
Cast you aside
Cast you aside...

They should have warned you about me...
I'm not what I appear to be.

Prittle-prattle, prittle-prattle
Go and fight your little battles
Like a vulture, I'll be there
To pick your bones until they're bare

If you're of use
I'll call a truce
Then I'll abuse

Once I am done
I will be gone
And so will you

I am the one who crosses the line
Never early or late; I'm always right on time
I won't wait up if you fall behind
If it gets me ahead, I'll cast you aside
Cast you aside
Cast you aside
Cast you aside...

I am the deceiver
Sour to my core
I'll tell you what you want to hear.
