Jealous, I'm not
It's just that I Know just what that person is capable of
The breaking and the bruises
So many victims to their crimes
Threatening the blade and the dealing of black and blue
I know because I've been there
I wanna make a note to myself for the label you gave
If you want to call me a monster, then you shouldn't misbehave
I always wonder why it took so long for the people to learn the truth
That you've silenced and bloodied all the people who spoke against you
I remember that night just like it was yesterday
For what they've done, there's a price that needs to be paid
Since it happened, I just wanted to run away
But you need to be saved
You need to be spared the hurt and the pain that we all went through
You are the last one who deserves it
I don't want to bear the bad news to you, but I couldn't stand to see you broken, beat and scarred
I want to make a note to myself just in case you want to be friends
You can piss clean off if you think that I think that your old behavior ends
I gave you chances after chances but right now it's plain to see
I can show you a monster if you come within ten feet of me
I remember that night just like it was yesterday
For what they've done, there's a price that needs to be paid
Since it happened, I just wanted to run away
But you need to be saved
I'm screaming at you through this glass door
You can't hear me or you want to ignore
I'm screaming at you through this glass door
You can't hear me or you want to ignore
I could spend a life without you if it means you feel no harm
But when I open up my mouth it's unnecessary alarm
I could spend a life without you if it means you feel no harm
But when I open up my mouth it's unnecessary alarm

You All Disgust Me

Can you call it denial if you don't even know the truth?
Tell me what the fuck is up with you
Cuz then I will know just what to do
I'll know what to do
Years later so much regret
We've both grown
You can say the stone is set
Did my naivety save me or Doom me?
You're too niche for me and I'm too much for you
And we're never on the same page
And I thought that I was the one
That was too fixated
I was too fixated
Years later so much regret
We've both grown
You can say the stone is set
You all disgust me in your own special ways
And how can I survive?
Is our vice being horrible
My luck is rotten like fruit as soon as you want it
So let's hang our horseshoes upside-down and raise a black cat together
My luck is rotten like my heart when I was younger
So let's open our umbrellas in our living room

1000 Cuts

Call it barbaric
Call it disturbing
Call it whatever you will
We as a people
Went back to the Stone age
Seems like we are too far gone
All this hipocracy
Exposed by this tragedy
Phased by our colors of skin
Too much to live for
Jealousy to die for
Stoned at the stake for her sins
So much in common
But you are a monster
Makes me wonder about myself
The surface of all of us
Only says so much
We all need our help
there's No excuses
We can do this
There's only so much forgiveness
When 1000 cuts
Has the power to end it
It's all way too much to count
Terrify half of the human race
Set an example with her bloody face
Public execution, she was only human
Never allowed to learn from her mistakes
Say its repentance
Say it's revenge, yes
Say it's whatever you want
No one deserves this
Not my worst nemesis
Don't let us fall into the abyss
Pain I can't notice
It is a privilege
To not get this trauma
This isn't bickering
This is just sickening
This isn't close to drama
Terrify half of the human race
Set an example with her bloody face
Public execution, she was only human
Never allowed to learn from her mistakes
I have been shamed
I have been Torn apart
I have been ridiculed
But not like this
This is a privilege
Not many others have
Thought we were over this
Not like this
I don't want to hear it again
That they have it worse in other lands
It's all a tactic, they don't know the facts and
This story is making me ill
You were wrong
You were wrong
You were wrong
You were wrong

Drive me to the desert, tell me to dig my own grave
Pull on the trigger and I'll fall right in
Give me a reason, Just one reason, a thought why I shouldn't ditch this place
Please go away, this is my fate, I'm closing the gate
The wrong people want too much of me
And It's tearing me apart
But I'd give you full permission
To sever the strings inside my heart
Tear me apart limb from limb
And I know you can't absolve me of my sins
What is right, what is wrong, I don't know
You people are getting away with murder
You've warped this perspective, you've warped this perspective
The wrong people want too much of me
And It's tearing me apart
But I'd give you full permission
To sever the strings inside my heart
You people expect too much of me
I don't know what I can do
I'm all worn out, I'm so stressed out
I don't know what I can do
Walk on me like pavement
There's nothing I would do to stop you now
like the trash that I am, take me out
Walk on me like pavement
That's just how I live
If you want something come and find me and use me

You want it you've got it
I've never got so goddamn far
I never got so far to end it like this
We've got a ticking clock
Going on to the end of us
It's ticking until we cease to breathe
And all those songs, seemed like you sang to me
About being for no one had kept me thinking
That I've been looking for this in all the wrong places
I'll go away
I'm growing old
I'm running out of time
(We're running out of time)
This is so cold
But this is what you want
(But this is what you want)
This is an open letter
To someone who could care less
These are the deadly thoughts that keep me breathing
My ulterior motives
Have got the best of me
Is this the person that I want to be
And all those songs, seemed like you sang to me
About being for no one had kept me thinking
That I've been looking for this in all the wrong places
But if this was right, I need to find some other races
I've damaged myself
with this image of you
I have no one to blame but myself
No time to cry about it
It's best for me to move on
I won't fall for the tropes of my heroes
I'm growing old
I'm running out of time
(We're running out of time)
This is so cold
But this is what you want
