You I trusted your intentions a trust you took
Advantage of
Now you, are sitting in the hole that you dug
Around yourself

[Chorus]
You've lied so much you thinks it's true
Do you know what the truth is?
How does someone get to be like you
The king of all excuses

Is she your partner in deception or caught inside the web you've spun?
Did you forget that you were family, the damage you have done

[Chorus]

I trusted you
I trusted in you

This time your gonna get it
All the things you've done coming back to you
This time your gona feel it
Your conscience slowly suffocating you
In time you will regret it
Say goodbye to all the things
You've gotten used to
Life will find a way
To bring this karma to you
To bring this karma to you

[Chorus]

Everything must come full circle
It kills me that I feel this hurtful
I wonder what your children think of you
The king of all excuses

    General Comment:obviously none of you have seen Staind live.....this song is a tribute to Dimebag Darrell. It's actually about the guy that killed him, it is a song directed at him.

    General Comment:I'm 95% sure the song is about his father.
    "She your partner in deception" meaning his mom.
    Dad = King of All Excuses.

    General Comment:I have saw Staind twice in the past month live and Aaron Lewis has stated both times that this song is about a piece of shit (a man) who built his house and obviously did a poor job at it.

    General Comment:I saw Staind live with Breaking Benjamin, Three Days Grace, Crossfade, and Hinder and it was one badass show. This song was one of my favorite moments. Not sure who he was talking about but when Aaron introduced the song he said "This song is about a piece of shit." then ripped into that killer riff. Fucking AWESOME!

    General Comment:although the lyrics don't really sound like it to me, i agree with xxBIG EVILxx saying it's about the contractor fucking up his house...he said it at Soma in San Diego last year...

    General Comment:I thought it was basically comparable to the song For you. Typical teenager - parent beefs. but overall yep seems like its about deceptionist.

    General Comment:i always thought it was some thing along the lines of an old manager or tour manger or some one who has fucked them over big time by like cancling shows and taking the money for it or some it like that but the building thing sounds more true to the song!
