an effigy so wondrous to behold a statement so profound

you and i, we may look the same but we are very far apart there's bullet holes where my compassion used to be and there is violence in my heart

am i still tough enough? feels like i’m wearing down, down, down, down, down is my viciousness l-losing ground, ground, ground, ground, ground?

and we just can’t help ourselves

the lights in the sky have finally arrived i am staying right beside you

did you think i wouldn't recognize this compromise? am i just too stupid to realize? stale incense, old sweat, and lies, lies, lies

and god damn i am so tired of pretending of wishing i was ending when all i'm really doing is trying to hide

now doesn't that make you feel better? the pigs have won tonight now they can all sleep soundly and everything is all right

flew too high and burnt the wing lost my faith in everything

lay my hands on heaven and the sun and the moon and the stars while the devil wants to fuck me in the back of his car

the sweetest price he'll have to pay the day the whole world went away

if i could feel all the pins and the pricks if you were real i could take what's apart and put it back together

just how deep do you believe? will you bite the hand that feeds? will you chew until it bleeds? can you get up off your knees?

LOSE ME HATE ME SMASH ME ERASE ME KILL ME

i'll be there for you as long as it works for me i play a game, it's called insincerity

my world is getting smaller everyday hey hey hey hey, and that's okay

see this is where the fun begins you barely even pierced the skin just wait 'til you see what is coming

i'll be there for you as long as it works for me i play a game, it's called insincerity

god break down the door

my world is getting smaller everyday hey hey hey hey, and that's okay

and if you see my friend i thought i would again a single thin straight line i thought we had more time

(SLAVE SCREAMS) he hears but doesn't want to listen (SLAVE SCREAMS) he's being beat into submission

you remain i am stained

you see your world on fire, don't try to act surprised we did just what you told us, lost our faith along the way and found ourselves believing your lies

now doesn't that make you feel better? the pigs have won tonight now they can all sleep soundly and everything is all right

i want to know everything i want to be everywhere i want to fuck everyone in the world i want to do something that matters

even after everything you're the queen and i'm the king nothing else means anything

the world is bleeding out it folds itself in two behind the background world its always bleeding through

used to be the leader, but now comes the time to serve maybe we show some mercy maybe you get what you deserve

hot swollen skin want me take me perfect embrace black and bloody rotten and perfect the center has moved on and all that’s left is free

the only thing that works for me help me get away from myself

for you to go and take this and smash it apart i've gone all this fucking way to wind up back at, back at the start

it took you to make me realize it took you to make me realize it took you to make me realize it took you to make me see the light!

we'll find the perfect place to go where we can run and hide i'll build a wall and we can keep them on the other side ...but they keep waiting ...and picking... ...and picking... ...and picking...

problems do have solutions, you know a lifetime of fucking things up fixed in one determined flash

a little more every day falls apart and slips away i don't mind i'm okay wish it didn't have to end this way

i think i knew when it crossed the line i think i knew the whole goddamned time

how could i ever think, it's funny how everything you swore would never change is different now like you said, you and me make it through didn't quite fell apart, where the fuck were you?

are you sure (this is what you want?)

still can make out pieces with the opening sewed shut yeah, parts of me are slowing down, time is speeding up

the plastic face forced to portray all the insides left cold and gray there is a place that still remains it eats the fear, it eats the pain

i'm sorry, for what it's worth, if that means anything anymore i think there's something just wrong with me

i tried to sneak myself through, tried to get to the other side i had to patch up the cracks and the holes that i have to hide for a little bit of time even made it work okay just long enough to really make it hurt when they figured me out and it all just rotted away

what if all the world's inside of your head just creations of your own? your devils and your gods, all the living and the dead and you're really all alone?

i think i used to be someone now i just stare into the sun

and now you're one of us the wretched

used to be the leader, but now comes the time to serve maybe we show some mercy maybe you get what you deserve

i think this keeps happening over and over again

i'm stuck in this dream it's changing me, i am becoming

see this is where the fun begins you barely even pierced the skin just wait 'til you see what is coming
