A life time of lyrics

Nothing is ever what it seems

After Knight of swords went their many separate ways I took an enforced break from singing ... with no band to sing with what else could I do ?

as is the nature of us tortured genius types too much alone time makes us introspective .... this is not necessarily a good thing but the silver lining was the song that came out of it .

Nothing is ever what it seems

When I was young I thought I was the golden child

Live for the moment , man I really did run wild

Used to believe I was the nicest guy I knew

But now I'm all grown up I know that Isn't true

I used to say " to hell with consequence"

Spend my life just sitting right there on the fence

But in the dark night when you're woken by my screams

You'll find out nothing is ever what it seems

(ch)

Nothing is ever what it seems

Not in the real world

Not even in your dreams

You think you know the truth

But you don't know what that means

Nothing is ever what it seems

When I was young I'd cause a riot when I'm pissed

But on a global scale I know I won't be missed

I used to believe that I was a real nice guy

But so much older now I realise the lie

You'll never know I feel like this on the inside

Coz this is part of me I'll always try to hide

But in the dark night when you're woken by my screams

You'll find out nothing is ever what it seems

(ch)

solo

And as my time draws nearer each and every day

I realize there's things I'll never get to say

But that wont matter when the reaper comes to call

As long as in your life you managed to walk tall

They say that pride always comes before a fall

The fall is when you say you don't know me at all

So when you're woken in the darkness by my screams

You'll understand that nothing is ever what it seems
