Playing the Victim Lyrics by Acacia Ridge

Playing the Victim - Single

2022

[Chorus]
You're obsessed
With the idea of the rope around your neck
Made of everything that kept your thoughts in check
You tried to reason with the voice inside your head
And now your mind leaves you for dead
[Verse 1]
You wrote the tragedy that justified your ignorance
You crave repentance of the sins you gave a chance
I've seen the sorrow that infects that kind of mind
It's been a demon that I met from time to time
[Chorus]
You're obsessed
With the idea of the rope around your neck
Made of everything that kept your thoughts in check
You tried to reason with the voice inside your head
And now your mind leaves you for dead
[Verse 2]
Playing the victim is the only trick you know
Airtight deception leaves you helpless and alone
Why grant forgiveness to the one who will play god
Why beg for sympathy after all that you've done?
[Chorus]
You're obsessed
With the idea of the rope around your neck
Made of everything that kept your thoughts in check
You tried to reason with the voice inside your head
And now your mind leaves you for dead
[Bridge]
It's not my fault I'm not ashamed it's just the poison in my drink
I tried to tell you once or twice but you've never wondered why
It's not my fault I'm not ashamed it's just the poison in my drink
I tried to listen once or twice but I've never wondered why
[Chorus]
You're obsessed
With the idea of the rope around your neck
Made of everything that kept your thoughts in check
You tried to reason with the voice inside your head
And now your mind leaves you for dead
I'm obsessed
With the idea of the rope around my neck
Made of everything that kept my thoughts in check
I tried to reason with the voice inside my head
And now my mind leaves me for dead
