[Verse 1]
"As straight as a line", he said
Then met a guy
Who bent his line
But nobody knew
'Cause they all thought the same
But had his truth become a lie?

[Verse 2]
He closed the door
That he had left open
Was it too bad
That he couldn't think straight?
Thought he was being overly sincere
Didn't know that time would leave a mark in his back

[Chorus]
Punished for being himself too early
Punished for being himself too late
A sacrifice but he's the only loser
Can't evеn die without dying twice
Punished for bеing himself too early
Was it too bad that he couldn't think straight?
Punished for being himself too late
And so his truth became a lie
