I can't say it enough,
to remove the guilt I feel.
There's so much self-hatred,
that you shouldn't have to feel.
I only ever wanted to get better,
but I kept getting worse.
I wanted to change,
but I watched myself become my fears
Please, listen to my screams,
please, listen to my pleas,
can't you stop this tyranny?
This tyranny.
please, negotiate with me.
can we find our peace?
away from this tyranny.
your tyranny.
You only want best for your people,
but you left them all to drown.
you want to see yourself on a pedestal,
but you just keep letting them down.
Can't you see you killed the good,
that was left in my soul?
Please, listen to my screams,
please, listen to my pleas,
can't you stop this tyranny?
This tyranny.
please, negotiate with me.
can we find our peace?
away from this tyranny.
your tyranny.
You held all the knowledge I knew,
about the cruel world that I homed,
and their unforgiving souls.
You gave me power and intuition,
ambition and a temper,
that I can't control.
No! Listen to my screams,
listen to my pleas,
Stop this tyranny?
your tyranny.
No! no negotiation or truce.
you've bent our truths.
Into tyranny.
your tyranny.
