no coincidence, happy birthday

I'm a fake, I'm a fraud
A lonely, illegitimate god in my own world
I forgot how it feels to be something you're not
And you don't know me at all
And every day I'm somebody new
And I perfected every version
Adapted to your perversions, it's true
And look, I'm just like you

I'm a plague, that you fight
And how hard do the memories bite
You're so misjudged, son of Christ
You're the martyr, the stereotype
And you don't need me at all
And you never really cared to
And you'll always have it your way
Even on my fucking birthday, it's true

And you keep taking
And you keep taking
And you keep taking all that I have

You're the muse, look at you
Calculated and still so confused
In your own world, you refuse
To move on from your latest excuse
And you don't need me at all
And I think you should be scared to
And as long as I grow older
Every year passes, I'm colder towards you

And you keep taking
And you keep taking
And you keep taking all that I have

It's not me and it's not them
It's the shadows, the echoes of all your regrets
It's too hard to sleep, he's under my bed
If no one believes me, I'll try to forget
But it's not simple and it never was
The pain that still lingers between you and us
Behind the closed door, it's not what it seems
The party is over and you still won't leave

And you keep taking
And you keep taking
And you'll keep taking all that I have

You keep taking
(Take it and break it, it's all that I have)
And you keep taking
(Try to deny it, but you won't forget)
And you'll keep taking all that I have
