LYRICS:
I wept when I realized there were no more demons left to conquer
An opportunity to show my feelings with skin so thick you swear it was armor
A penitentiary that only lets the oxygen out
I wasn’t ready for a version of the truth to get out
I’m getting desperate- I wouldn’t want to fester in another bad dream
I am a Man of Extremes- I found the Flesh and I’m liking it
I’ll put an end to all the fucking psychobabble
We eat the Meat cause the Meat had a soul
We take the lives cause to hurt makes us whole
I AM NOT THE SAME/YOU NEVER HAD A CLUE OR KNEW MY NAME
YOU WANT TO KNOW THE STORY? TAKE MY PAIN-I AM READY-THE LIE IS HEARD
I AM NOT THE SAME/YOU NEVER HAD INTENT TO KEEP MY BLAME
YOU REALLY WANT TO KNOW WHO THE FUCK I AM?
I AM THE ORPHAN… THE ONE WHO KILLED YOUR WORLD
Keeping up appearances with acts of attrition
It doesn’t matter cause I know you’ll never listen
Before- you knew it when you saw now you say you never knew it
It was all a big conspiracy
We come together when the Hands of Fate let go
Is there anybody left to fill this hole?
This shit… will never wash off- give yourself a medal… I swear I fuckin’ give up
We’re nothing special, just an accidental tweak of the freak
An evolution of the kennel in the fetish you seek
There’s still a part of me that’s dying in a dumpster
The one who rose is a motherfucking monster
I’ve seen the future and it’s simply burning/ I wasn’t put here to be so discerning
You want the world to be dissatisfied? You don’t care, so why the fuck should I?
Fuck, should I sell myself to stay alive?
I AM NOT THE SAME/YOU NEVER HAD A CLUE OR KNEW MY NAME
YOU WANT TO KNOW THE STORY? TAKE MY PAIN-I AM READY-THE LIE IS HEARD
I AM NOT THE SAME/YOU NEVER HAD INTENT TO KEEP MY BLAME
YOU REALLY WANT TO KNOW WHO THE FUCK I AM?
I AM THE ORPHAN… THE ONE WHO KILLS-THE ONE WHO KILLED YOUR WORLD
Everyone Has Something. Someone Here Has Everything.
Tell me all about it- I love to hear it- the way I ruin everything I touch
I never thought I’d get to say I’m sorry, but then again I think you ask too much
Too White 2B Black/Too Black 2B Blue/Too Sick 2B Me/Too Fucked 2B You
I only wonder if I’ll live to see the end of the road- it always gets me nowhere
I AM NOT THE SAME/YOU NEVER HAD A CLUE OR KNEW MY NAME
YOU WANT TO KNOW THE STORY? TAKE MY PAIN-I AM READY-THE LIE IS HEARD
I AM NOT THE SAME/YOU NEVER HAD INTENT TO KEEP MY BLAME
YOU REALLY WANT TO KNOW WHO THE FUCK I AM?
I AM THE ORPHAN… THE ONE WHO KILLED YOUR WORLD
EVERYONE HAS SOMETHING. SOMEONE HERE HAS EVERYTHING.
I AM THE ORPHAN… THE ONE WHO- KILLS…
