Are you waiting? Are you scared are you debating? On another way to go about the lives that we all digest Allow you to infest with your blatant disagreements Cut me up , please add more scars Until I'm calloused Until I've wrapped myself in my own casket and then Peel me as I proceed to bleed Then when we end up dead With a bullet, in each of our heads They'll say we should have asked the Lord for forgiveness The truth is within us Coming from the mouths of a collective Judas Preach, impeach your own belief that you live by Why don't you Kiss your Jesus, tell him that we need this, then throw him away. Be one with your God. Be one with your God. I'll keep silent as you drink from your holy grail (You believe it! And you'll keep it!) Spit the words you're so sure of the entail (You believe it! And you'll keep it) And you can burn while you criticize me And everything that I'm not meant to be Whip me with your hate Pontius pilot, Nail me to your favorite cross And when we end up dead With a crown of thorns stuck in our heads They'll say it wasn't enough And keep going till we're nothing but guts Laid on on the sidewalk Going on about how it was warranted Preach your own beliefs that you live by Be one with your god Be one with your God. Eat the body you sacrificed. Boom as the world implodes Boom as the world implodes Boom as the world implodes Boom as he whole motherfucking world implodes HOW CAN YOU LOOK AT THE SPECK OF DUST IN YOUR BROTHERS EYE ANS PAY NOT MIND TO THE PLANK THAT RESIDES IN YOUR OWN HYPOCRISY AT ITS FINEST Both prophet and priest are godless; even in my temple I find their wickedness, Be one with your God. Lord have mercy for they've sinned. Go from earth to hell and then Burn. Our Father who arts in heaven Hollowed be thy name Inconspicuous demons have Slain your holy Grace .

Rise up again Rise up against Challenge! Don't give me a waste I'm craving a taste Of all you are! You're gonna go far kid But you're killing me I'm going to live vicariously You can't make this away from me It's my time to shine Give me your hand I'll pull you up And carry you upon my shoulder Come on over I need this now I'm never in denial You're never gonna hear this truth inside This truth inside I want you buried. Buried. Fuck this pointed hate I want to shred your face Preserving skin from under my nails In a plastic case So you wouldn't ever escape And it's mine to taste Mine to touch You're a part of me It's a fucking rush I want to be perfect too I want to be just like you Do you see what you do Motherfucker? Gonna have to dig to get you out I need this for me I need you to succeed I need you, just breathe And maybe begin to believe I'll be the one The one to leave you buried. Buried. Buried. Buried. I'm gonna smile in your face Gonna give you a little taste I'm gonna dig your fucking grave I'm gonna hate Dig. Dig. Dig. I'm gonna smile in your face Gonna give you a little taste I'm gonna dig your fucking grave I'm gonna hate I'm gonna smile in your face You shouldve known I'm a disgrace You should have known Should have fucking known.

Divergent to the point of psychosis I try to help it Think I love this? I loathe this Crying for help while I reach out in silence I promise I'd kill if it would help me survive this Crisis that just makes me want to die. Can't shut out the souls that reside in my mind I couldn't help you I could barely breathe without crying But if I told you that I didn't care then I'd be Lying to myself Then who would I be A liar like the others Little helpless me I can't see what is coming up toward me And I don't know what it is I should believe (Make it stop! ) Anybody out there (Make it stop!) Anybody in here? (Make it stop!) Anybody anywhere (Make this not...NO!) There goes that train again! Finding its way underneath my skin! Underground I always win Until I never do again I would find it in my body Try to stop t being naughty Don't you go where you don't belong Unless you feel it's wrong! It's wrong So wrong I know Somewhere I should Belong So I'll Suffer For now Or always And Ill Catch myself Hurt myself Apologize to My fucking self again Can I get it out of here I'm slipping into the tracks Don't let me fall! Not again Stay away from the platform edge.

Should I hope that somehow You won't change me And only take me under your wing To assist in this growth process Physically and otherwise And besides Do I have a choice? I know I have a voice But my words fall on deaf ears Just like everyone else's Except for those that matter To you and them With their checks and pens Filled with ink and blood and Venom and semen But I'm only paying the victim As you continue to kick me while I'm down. You can never cage me You will not enslave me I've not many years I've lived But I have enough mind to see what this is Your institution, your Constitution Your prostitution For the people that you've grown apart from I won't be one with that variation I will not become one NO. NO. No. So stop Parade the streets with board and signs Like only now they destroyed your lives? It might not get worse but it might not get better Their faces get wet And the bodies get redder They pile them up and they light them up And pretended that that they never existed Fuck the memories You're only one person He's only one person She's only one person Affected by this widespread perversion We have to die if we want to live Do we even want to try? Do well suffer out loud and not do a fucking thing if we choose to let them pull the strings Or show them we're all Alive now With a chose to set ourselves free! What did I do now? You could never tame me. Did I let you down? You can never shame me. This could be our time to slither in And wrap around their necks Well end some miseries. Fuck. Come in I wanna show em something Reach around and grab em by the neck Come in I wanna show em something Reach around and grab em By the Neck I’ll grab you by the neck you’re mine. Come pull well in I want to show em something Take em by the hand it's time learn something Come pull well in I want to show em something Take em by the hand Teach em what the hurt is Grab the pile and we burn it Let no body touch it Not even if they deserve it Teach em what the hurt is Grab the pile and we burn it Let no body touch it Not even if they deserve it Come and take a spot in your safe place Come take a stand for what you believe in Wipe the Look of great from your face You're hanging with the big boys now You can never cage me You cannot tame me You will not take me I won't be sucked into this mass production Of our destruction Come take a stand for what you believe in Without your guard there Without your highchair You're nothing but a spineless waste of air I'm quick to react That's a fact. Should have never given me time to grab a mother fucking match

You've been complicated Complicating situations I should have the upper hand in I have tasted the scenarios and given them a flavor you've contemplated instead and have given others favors I've commanded empathy when it comes to me I never asked you for this empathy so that I could bleed I want a feast, I want to laugh at the all the helpless clowns I want to reject and spit the tongue you've kept connected through will I'll never respect Does anyone know why I'm here This isn't who I want to be Pay attention Learn your lesson I want them to die My suggestions Ignored by this stupid bitch outside Its simple, really, silly, they don't need your pity party partly cus they've purposely partaken in this need to live. To prove they have a purpose, proportionate to someone they've never met, particularly when it comes to someone big. Look at me I'm shining, they're not happy, fucking lying, do you trust dishonesty they spew no punishment Pull them closer to end it. Does anyone know why I'm here? I KNOW this isn't who she wants to be Paid attention, where's the lesson Where's her fucking pride Ill take action She's to go now Its Time to fucking hide Want to play a game

What happened to the sanity The colors and the clarity that you so righteously defended? What happened to the patterns you commended Second after second Miniscule details were reprimanded When you pray to cast away the shadow But you dance with demons and Devil's on a nightly basis When you communicate facing one direction So there's not a chance for anyone to see your other faces Now Your fingers are tor favorite part You like to point em where you send You say you want responsibility Yet your finger's pointed to them Now it's time! Peeling back your nails and skin You're alright Find a way to work around your dirty fucking finger And all the talk about you being heaven sent And forgiveness and the bullshit about being tolerant It was jealousy self loathing ignorance and arrogance Fuck appreciation Fuck your shitty bullshit precedence You want a mess Shit splattered on the walls You want to hang onto this rope until you call I'm done forgiving, I'm done with your second thoughts Hang on tightly Though you know youre gonna drop And Ill watch you fucking fall Now Did I even have to say? You said you knew your way But I didn't see you catch yourself As you took the plunge straight into hell Now it's time Peeling back your plastic case You're alright Find a way to work around Your filthy ass disguise ...

I'm the entity they fear Silent hiding under your bed When you get big and strong I'll be the voice that lives in your head Let me in, let me in The stranger they told you about The warnings are all lies, you see You'll get no where with your doubt Curious creatures Take my hand Let me introduce you To the one they so desperately tried to hide you from With those pretty little lies Straight into your frightened eyes It's be ashamed if I Disappeared Be ashamed if you Were left all alone You need to realize something children You will see You're nothing without me Now let all of the vermin suffer Get what they deserve The hiding and the secrets Surely must've struck a nerve Curious creatures Take my hand Rise and conquer With hostility to their chests And a dagger to their throats You're learning from the best And everything is as it should be No mercy No mercy Kill them all No mercy No mercy Beautiful creatures Take my hand I'll take you I'll take you to the new promised land I'm the one you followed The one with aall control The only one to ever show True worth unto your soul They wanted you to suffer And they wanted you to doubt Now taste What makes you different Wear it when it hollows out

Did you figure it out yet? The drop was abysmal The lines didn't help So I veered just a little The curves kept me sane until I lost my shit And I couldn't figure out the fucking exit I don't know if you heard But I'm sure you don't care Because you watched me drop From all the way up there you made no attempt to lend your fucking hand sure you took a stand only in the edge While you overlooked everything I said It's fucking relatable This is everyone's deal Once or twice or thrice And you'll heal But you've never dealt with circle All youve ever had were paths and perfect vision Those lines exist and they work for some The healthy, the stable, and those who play the victims Deal with this burden You've bestowed onto me Left me wandering in endless spirals Regurgitating my insides for entertainment and your pleasure I hear false accusations and directions given from a narcissistic sadist Your filthy finger has no place here, shove them where your eyes should've been So when you left my side Did you ever think that you would watch me fly? You'll have to say goodbye All my pieces came together And they only wish to terminate the Bullshit you spit Mind games you played well can you see the pain that I was in now? Scream for help since you can't cry Look at where you got with lines You're frozen You're in pain In your actions There was nothing to gain Did you think it was funny I'd like to hear you laugh But first I'd love to see you open your eyes . Gaslight I'm not crazy Only went there cus you made me Stronger than gnytive ever been It's Ironic , isn't karma a BITyCH And you thought that it didn't exist You look so pathetic I really wish you could see yourself right now . So when you left my side Did you ever think that you would watch me fly? You'll have to say goodbye All my pieces came together And they only wish to terminate the Bullshit You spit Mind games you played well Can you see the pain that I was in now?

I WATCHED THIS UNFOLD IVE BEEN THERE TO HOLD I should die You should watch me whither away Physical death, soul retrieval We will rise I'll bleed and release who I've been Only you remain To peel the flesh off your neighbor And spit in my face again Again? I'VE DENIED YOU PAIN I'VE BUILT YOU AGAIN Taking over I spoke to the devil, but he'll never understand You, all my children, my brothers, my blood I know these laceration Are enough Now I will die You will watch me wither away You dont know what you've done I'll believe Must believe that my torture Has only, only set you free I've been scarred by the lack of concern I'll forgive I'll forget Even though this all hurts I've reached the peak of my time This pressure is mine to have My burden to bare Not to share They will learn They will learn what it truly means What it truly means To break Did we make a mistake ? I've watched from the other side And I see Nothing I see emptiness I see mindless vessels Roaming the streets and filling up the cathedrals to preach the words Of a philosophy they can't comprehend Or begin to live by Misinterpreted ideologies They lie for power The sounds they exert don't match the movements they make they Are distorted in the worst possible way Grossly Contorted Father Father What have we done? Beautiful children Born into rage Destined to pay For their elders mistakes I was dehumanized Beaten Displayed And rose from the grave For their sake And this is where they are now? This is what they've all become Annihalators of life A beauty to none A decomposed gift A breath surely uncherished Disgusting to believe I'd rather die a thousand times over Than to allow you to go on Again and again Is this what we fought for? Destroyed mother earth for? A pathetic power struggle An exertion of hatred Hypocrites for the vast majority You are no savior You are no disciple You are no priest or priestess You speak with forked tongue And blinded eyes Now it's your turn to die We have to start over Forgive me father For I have sinned Trusting in them
