Taker from Harmony by Colin Fowlie

Do you wake up in the morning, then reach into a hat and draw a name
Blind to how you're oh so wrong, you choose somebody else to take the blame
You can paint a stunning picture, but damn you don't know where to draw the line

Reality's the adversary, in your bitter war against the man
But that man is the father of your son, a boy who's trapped in no man's land
I won't reinforce your front again, it's time to step aside

You fake a perfect life in filtered photos that I see through
You never think about the others or consider what they need, too
You'd even die at my funeral to make it about you
You're a taker, so now I'm a leaver, believe me

The gaslight's burning out and now the flair is gone, and packed under your bed
While the movie that you're starring in plays on an endless loop inside your head
And the show it will go on after a costume change

You fake a perfect life in filtered photos that I see through
You never think about the others or consider what they need, too
You'd even die at my funeral to make it about you
You're a taker, so now I'm a leaver, believe me

You fake a perfect life in filtered photos that I see through
You never think about the others or consider what they need, too
You'd even die at my funeral to make it about you
And you've taken all that I had. So I'm leaving.
