Although I followed the rules,
I became a scapegoat
An artificial paradise surrounded by a fake protection
The promise to never go away
Unknown dangers, waiting in the shadows
Traumatic warnings
Inside from the start
Guilty of obedience
Scapegoat
The danger never came from the outside
Now I stand as an example to all who follow the rules
The mourning of the ideal
The distant calls were not threats
Just bursts of survival
A deaf ear and total trust betrayed me
My infinite credulity
For this lesson so painfully learned
Open my veins wide to the distress of the world
Goodbye
May it infiltrate, bite and digest me
I'm just the scapegoat of her promises
The one who was supposed to be my guide
She wanted me to be hers only, her personal slave
Hiding the whole world in a dollhouse
Playing by the book never works

Although I followed the rules,
I became a scapegoat
An artificial paradise surrounded by a fake protection
The promise to never go away
Unknown dangers, waiting in the shadows
Traumatic warnings
Inside from the start
Guilty of obedience
Scapegoat
The danger never came from the outside
Now I stand as an example to all who follow the rules
The mourning of the ideal
The distant calls were not threats
Just bursts of survival
A deaf ear and total trust betrayed me
My infinite credulity
For this lesson so painfully learned
Open my veins wide to the distress of the world
Goodbye
May it infiltrate, bite and digest me
I'm just the scapegoat of her promises
The one who was supposed to be my guide
She wanted me to be hers only, her personal slave
Hiding the whole world in a dollhouse
Playing by the book never works
I became a scapegoat
An artificial paradise surrounded by a fake protection
The promise to never go away
Unknown dangers, waiting in the shadows

Guilty of obedience
Scapegoat
The danger never came from the outside
Now I stand as an example to all who follow the rules

I'm just the scapegoat of her promises
The one who was supposed to be my guide
She wanted me to be hers only, her personal slave
Hiding the whole world in a dollhouse
Playing by the book never works
