Pride!
Soaked in hate for the weak so I'll be strong
I am staring at the pool in which I'll drown
Still enraptured by the sight of my false self
The more I suffer, the more I bleed
The more I feel in control of my destiny
Disintegration is fine, as long as the one that is bringing it about is I
I depend on the people I despise (and I despise myself)
The more you revere me, the more I care
I depend on the people I despise (and I despise myself)
You're just a mirror in which I reflect
Omnipotence, what I'm feeling the most
Confabulation that keeps me afloat
The need to regain control and make your will my own
My touch is poison, my weapon is spite
I hardly remember what it felt like to be alive
I'm left with an empty shell, pleasing a god that demands adoration or kills
I depend on the people I despise (and I despise myself)
You should know that my will is still shackled to the need for greatness
I depend on the people I despise (and I despise myself)
If I can't change this world, then I will end it
Step inside my head!
Lying in bed to find comfort
Shelter from a world that will swallow me whole
Chasing perfection 'cause humiliation,
Fear and shame
Call for more
Pain! I'm acing the part of the bad man
See how good you look with your guts wrapped around your neck?
And all your fears I so clearly see
Damn, no one's ever good enough for me
Learning all about my soul from third rate books
Keeping up this act is harder than it looks
God save this amputee
Extend your hand and notice me
Breathing bad faith
My fate
Tragic waste
Still alone in this ocean of me
So take another hit
I am poison
And you will bleed
