Something Awful

Right now it is hard to judge
If I walked away from this
Or I was forced out
By a group of superior human beings
That feed off the insecurities
They created to keep me in check
I think I once knew you
If allowed to despise me
I am sure you would
I am sure you would
With the taste of disgust
It is certain you would fail
I am sure you would
I am sure you would
I have been the attacker
I have been attacked
Words sometimes can cut deeper
Than the actions that grew from
Resentment within your own imagination
I wait for the confrontation
Patiently
I think I once knеw you
If allowed to despise mе
I am sure you would
I am sure you would
With the taste of disgust
It is certain you would fail
I am sure you would
I am sure you would
I think I once knew you
If allowed to despise me
I am sure you would
I am sure you would
With the taste of disgust
It is certain you would fail
I am sure you would
I am sure you would

I have this massive flaw
A misinterpretation of what
Some think I am or have done
To a group of individuals
It's a one sided story
Fabricated for the better of none
It's hard to forget
Like so many things in life
That is burned deep within
It's hard to let go
Like so many times before
I want this wiped out
I have felt the bitter laugh's
Warm breath on the tip of my ear
Whispers of disapproval, it was degrading
Corrupted one liners
To make it seem like
I was at fault
I was at fault (x2)

I have created you so I have the right to do with you what I will
You have degraded my name
That I do not deny
You will suffer
I exist as I am
That is enough
Let me grow
Only to be reborn again
For my second chance is death
For seeing your hatred is only passive when you continue to ignore me
Harm me with humiliation
That I cannot deny
You will now suffer
I exist as I am
That is enough
Let me grow
Only to be reborn again
For my second chance is death
I will show you that nothing matters more than death itself
Memory is more better than the event
I exist as I am
That is enough
Let me grow
Only to be reborn again
For my second chance is death

Actions that will just take you along numbly
I defend myself against their growling pursuit
I never asked to be placed here on their mountain
Just put me down
My continuing howls terrify nature
A belief that this life will come to an end
I ward off any signs of kindness given by the weak
I wanted to be buried while
I fought off this feeble mass
Beware, you are stronger
I deem myself weaker
Look out
Cries are scaring everyone
Left here to suffer
Suffer (x7)

Empty Form

It is grotesque to think we were labeled as friends
Looking out for my best interest
By denying me a safe place to rest
From being pushed off the wall
I stood with you on
I forgot how to tell the difference
Between all of this
Naïve and gullible
I keep telling myself
That you will get yours
All I see is smiles!
All I hear is laughter!
Reasons are smothered by frustration
Humanly unrecognizable
Saturated in the sweat and piss
Of the pigs that did not care
The ones that used me for a good time
Fail and lie again
Lie and run again
Run and die again

There are few concerns that I have
Unexpected weaknesses that emerge from within
I tally the times I relapse now
Looking from above, down
I feel the need to watch
Suddenly I come to, Only to fall back harder
Fate will have its way, today is its day
In former eyes
My spirit was free
My soul was immortal
Lost in the cosmos that is life
Off with my head, traitor
I have to realize that
They will live forever
With no future in the distance
With no goals to focus on
With no aspirations towards wеalth and greed
I cannot prevent doom
I cannot prevеnt anguish
The rhythm is enough to drive you mad
My voice will echo inside an empty room
I have gone down
A path with no intention of coming home
So don't leave the light on

People Stare

Suppose it was all nothing
Years and energy were wasted
Thinking we had a happy ending
Waiting for us off in the
Future of failure
I wait for the day
When it all slips away
How does he get away
With making us fear life
If I remain silent
Will anyone help me
Without breaking anything
I doubt you will return
For I have worshipped doom
It Ignorantly shoved my head down
To its feet, small broken toes
It exuded the scent of many
Miles walked across the broken down
Helpless souls
I launch mysеlf into
A raging fit of laughter
Irrational feelings
I hate wherе it forces me to go
To find balance
Substances never existed prior to you
I reach back and find nothing so I call it off
Waves of dizziness flood my emotions
His titanic nature smothers my good will
As any help walked away
I called it off

I See, I Hear

For great accidents in
My life were necessary
I lived to see the end every time
My blood pumps with misery now
Organs replaced by a series
Of damaged beliefs
I live to destroy
I live to destroy
Everything within reach
Everything he created!
Believe me
I never cared, I never cared, I never cared
This life will unfold again
In a wave of wretchedness
So why bother changing
Your social behavior when
Rationality turns into
Absolute violence?
I live to destroy, I live to destroy
I see
I hear
I live to destroy

I Sit Ill

When I give
I give myself
This is the truth
I travel unchanged, at times disengaged
My limits have yet to be obtained
It was the moment you questioned me
I stepped back, laughed, and devoured you
Unbelievable and ugly
A basis on reality
Excessive consumption
Addictive personality
Too rare to die
Or am I going mad?
Twist it around
And place this burden on me!
