You’re a scab that never heals
The more I try to help you
The less I have to feel

It’ll never go away
For as long as I pick away
I want to tear you out
I need to help get out

For as long as I peel
The scars will never heal
No need to conceal
The scabs that make me squeal

I know it’s wrong
But it’s what I do
I don’t complain
I’ll laugh at you
Got bodies in the floorboard
Got shackles in the shed
For if you ever notice me
You’ll end up being dead

You’ll shed a tear
I’ll drink some beer
I’ll live on fear
No way to steer

Got jars upon jars
Of fresh new cremations
For there’s no more room
To give in to temptations

You’ll shed a tear
I’ll drink some beer
I’ll live on fear
No way to steer

Blessed are the meek
So easily abused
So I’ll just sit here
And be oh so easily amused
Crawling with my own two hands
I’ve got no legs, no strings attached
Hands sifting through grains of sand
It was never ours anyway

Crawl out of the wreckage
Hope they got our message
Maybe they were reckless
Yet still I hold my necklace

For the love of God
This was never fair
I’ll never walk again
I have no wheelchair

Pray my way back home
There’s no time left to roam
Apply the pressure
Stop the bleeding
Yet now my vision’s fading

Is all this blood a mirage?
Extortion through violent means
How could I be so blind
Corruption lies in broken lies
They’re like ticks leaching onto mankind

Simply living is the price
To be a martyr for the truth
When dying is the one escape
They'll **** it and frame it was you

Keep them printing
Watch them squinting
For no one comprehends
A number as big as the one at hand

Meat puppets, watch them joke
It’s all planned out, look through their notes
Who would want to know the truth
When if you did you’d be as dead as the youth

The teens in wars, they don’t know why
All they know is propagated lies

Just don’t let this get to you
There’s nothing you could ever do
Surrounded by fools
They’ll all die someday
They’re all goons
They’ll all fall one day

“Try some” they say
“It’ll soothe your sorrow”
“Try some today”
“No need to borrow”

Lend me your soul through some drugs
Let’s blend into oblivion
Seen through the barrel of a gun
Just fly me to the sun

The way pigs snort
The sheep will follow
The dogs arrest
Them all tomorrow
What truly matters
When everything will burn
What truly happens?
When I leave this earth

Criticize the optimist
Applaud the pessimist
It’s all sacrilege

What truly happens
When I leave the earth
What truly burns?
When nothing hurts

Criticize the living
Applaud the dead
It’s all without one night’s meds

I have no disorder
Everyone else does
I’m not a pessimist
‘Cause everyone else knows
A winter scene
Straight out of a movie
The snow falls down
While the icicles form

I tear one off
And hold it in my hands
I’d shed a tear
But there’s nothing left

The piercing cold
Against my blood
I’m piercing a hole
In my chest to the ground

A winter scene
Straight out of a movie
The snow falls down
While the icicles form
