[Lyric] By leaps and bounds (Down Memory Lane)

I paid the price once again but for the last time
I swear to God, today I've learned to shut my mouth
Things are complexed when you're surrounded by
Spineless so-called friends
Who are supposed to take your side

By leaps and bounds
I unavoidably reached this end
Introspection introduced me to a life size game
The world is the panel with rules quite simple
Observation's the key but don't get involved
Don't let compassion get in your way

A lot less commotion bred by being low profile
Now I am playing well with others by staying away from fires
Now I'm wading through the mire
Hidden away in an non emotional core
I'm frigid, impassive and remorselessly answering everything you want or need to hear

By leaps and bounds
I unavoidably reached this end
Introspection introduced me to a life size game
The world is the panel with rules quite simple
Observation's the key but don't get involved
Don't let compassion get in your way
Pacifism is the premise of neutrality
So indifference, make-believe and a "couldn't-care-less" attitude is vital for me to succeed
Indispensable for me to succeed

By leaps and bounds
I got you in my devious plan
Introspection's a real joke, I'll never play this game
Cause you're so judgemental and I'm susceptible
I hope you're familiar with sarcasm
The look on your face's incredible
I didn't know you were so gullible
I didn't like the sermon you gave me
And I'm showing it to you the extreme way
