Is there a problem you refuse to face?

No mercy left, so you can't be saved

You could never be me for a day

We don't bleed the same

I never wanted, never needed you

...

And as the curtain falls

I'll bang your head up against the wall

'Cause you never risked it all

Stood for nothing, so you fell for everything

...

You don't deserve my sympathy

It's all yours to take the grief and misery

...

When the guilt follows you out

My idle hands will let you drown

My patience wielded down

Born a quitter, so you weren't worth saving

Till the final light goes out

And they ask where are you now

The shame don't make a sound

Now you're trying

While I'm dying to forget

...

For a heretic, you got a lot to say

But you're the mother****er in my way

Drain out the poison

Now tell me what remains

Rot in your piss, in your shallow grave

I'll watch your kingdom fall

I'll cut the brakes, so your car can't stop

'Cause you never risked it all

Stood for nothing, so you fell for everything

...

I resent the fact you're living

Now the hate will keep me warm

It was all in vain for the cost of pain

...

When the guilt follows you out

My idle hands will let you drown

My patience wielded down

Born a quitter, so you weren't worth saving

Till the final light goes out

And they ask where are you now

The shame don't make a sound

Now you're trying

While I'm dying to forget

...

I want both eyes

And your liar tongue

You don't get to decide

I'll end your ****ing life

End your ****ing life

End your ****ing life
