lyrics

I am a tragedy in the works, a piece of filth in the making. It seems I have run out of worth, the heat death of everything you’ve ever worked for, as if predetermined to be your fool, to be your every mistake realized, to live out the cruel joke you played on me, and every regret that you left in me. How could you do this to a child? Robbed of all self-worth and self-concept by your millenarian horse-blinded ambitions that you know deep down won’t save you. When the stomach can’t bear the weight, it comes up in bile and blood. I don’t want to be who I am. I can’t take what I’ve become. I built my crucifix using tools that you gave to me, and then you dragged me through your fucking tired cliché just to feed from your faith in me. Deprived of a life to learn lessons from, I watched every sky turn grey, then black. Now every good time is gone, replaced with heartbreak and pain, so fuck your god I will never come back. When the senses start to dull, what fucking use am I? I speak in shattered voices under the weight of the closing off of arms. I’ve known the misery, I was born underneath it. If I find your venom in my wrist, I’ll cut it open if I have to. You curved my back to fit me in your image, then forced me to walk on broken legs… and when your world is burning down, I’ll be the one with the black match. Through you, I have become the embodiment of entropy.
