Speaking
only to hear
their own voice
Empty vessels making so
much noise
For our sanity’s sake,
we’ll torch the ground
And salt the earth in our wake
They rise just to drop like flies
I can ’t watch as they breed
and mul tiply
Draw blood, you parasites
Flatline, as you pull the splinters
from your eye
I won’t watch you plead your case
High up on your soapbox stage
As you appoint yourself authority
Condemner of youth
Not even the truth will set you free
Who put the crown on your head?
You’re not a king of anything
You’ll burn in the eyes of the world
So cast your stones
(and close your fists)
In a house of glass (you better
not miss)
Is this the attention you crave?
You won’t find peace,
may you turn in your grave
So bury the bones
Burn all the evidence and carry
on like nobody knows
What you’ve been dragging around
The bloodied names and the rise
of the body count
“Don’t dare to break the mould
Shut up and do as you’re told”
I don’t remember how the fuck it
got so
Overcomplicated, the truth is overrated
And when the chips are down
They’ll burn it to the fuck
ing ground
For the ones who refuse to admit
For the contrarian hypocrites
Those who live to provoke
As venom spills from your throat
I hope you choke
So sink your teeth in ‘til you
Draw blood, you parasites
Why don’t you show
your face?
Step into the light
Who put the crown on your
head?
You’re not a
king of anything
You’ll burn in the eyes of the world
So cast your stones (and close
your fists)
In a house of glass (you better
not miss)
Is this the attention you crave?
You won’t find peace,
may you turn in your grave
As you rise (you drop like flies)
I can’t watch (you multiply)
Why search for the source of a lie?
It’s easier to deride what
you can’t deny
I won’t watch you
plead your case
High up on your soapbox stage
As you appoint yourself authority
Condemner of youth,
not even the truth
Will set you free
