The Great Misconceptions Of Me

The Great Misconceptions Of Me Lyrics

Jonathon to the audience

Welcome to the show the great finale's finally here

I thank you for coming into my theatre of fear

Welcome to the show, you're all witnesses you see

A privileged invitation to the last rights of me


Jonathon to his mother

Remember me? You can't save me

Mama you never needed me

No crimson king, look in my eye, you'll see

Mama I'm lonely, it's only me, only me


Jonathon to all

I don't wanna be, I don't wanna be, I don't wanna be

The crimson idol of a million

I don't wanna be, I don't wanna be, I don't wanna be

The crimson idol of a million eyes, of a million


Jonathon to all

I am the prisoner of the paradise I dreamed

The idol of a million lonely faces look at me

Behind the mask of sorrow, four doors of doom behind my eyes

I've got their footprints all across my crimson mind


Jonathon to the king of mercy

Long live, long live, long live the king of mercy

Long live, long live


Jonathon to all

There is no love, to shelter me

Only love, love set me free

No love, to shelter me, only love, love set me free

I was the warrior, with an anthem in my soul

The idol of eight thousand lonely days of rage ago

And remember me when it comes your time to choose

Be careful what you wish for, it might just come true


Jonathon to the king of mercy

Jonathon to all

Jonathon to his father

Red, crimson red, am I the invisible boy

The strap on my back

Red, crimson red, no I was never to be

Only one crimson son, no it never was me


Jonathon to all

Living in the limelight little did I know

I was dying in the shadows and the mirror was my soul

It was all I ever wanted, everything I dreamed

But the dream became my nightmare and no-one could hear me scream

With these six-strings, I make a noose

To take my life, it's time to choose

The headlines read of my suicide, of my suicide


Jonathon to the king of mercy

Oh sweet silence, where is the sting

I am no idol, no crimson king

I'm the imposter, the world has seen

My father was the idol, it was never me

I don't wanna be, I don't wanna be, I don't wanna be

The crimson idol of a million

I don't wanna be, I don't wanna be, I don't wanna be

The crimson idol of a million eyes


Jonathon to all

No love, to shelter me, only love

Love set me free

No love, to shelter me, only love

Love set me free
