For twelve long years, I gave myself heart and soul Now I end where I began, inside this darkened hole
Ripped the ground out from underneath my feet Turned your back after draining all the youth from me
You're just a name on a page, and a number just the same Gave it all of you, but you're just a sacrificial piece in this game
It felt good to think you made a difference when it's easier to pretend Just to take a blade between your shoulders in the end
I feel the walls closing in, and the path forward closed Weighing these choices, but how could I have known
I always did the right thing, and did what I was told Just to have my future ripped from me and thrown out into the cold
You're just a name on a page, and a number just the same Gave your heart and soul, but you're just a sacrificial piece in this game
It felt good to think you made a difference when it's easier to pretend Just to take a blade between your shoulders in the end
Integrity first, service before self Excellence in all you do, these meant something to me But I see clearly it's foreign to you
You're just a name on a page, and a number just the same Gave it all of you, but you're just a sacrificial piece in this game
It felt good to think you made a difference when it's easier to pretend Just to take a blade between your shoulders in the end
You're just spineless liars with your interests in mind Not a shred of decency or thought for those on the line
I hope karma catches up to each of you one of these days And when you've fallen, I hope you remember my face
You're just a name on a page, and a number just the same Gave it all of you, but you're just a sacrificial piece in this game
It felt good to think you made a difference when it's easier to pretend Just to take a blade between your shoulders in the end
Just spineless liars with your interests in mind Not a shred of decency or thought for those on the line
I hope karma catches up to each of you one of these days And when you've fallen, I hope you remember my face
I'm just a name
I'm just a name
I'm just a name
