lyrics

Human nature is to destroy nature
Innocence is a myth, don't forget

Arrogance is the core of your void you must know
By now, mankind is the disease that plagues us


It's such a
Terrible shame, take the blame
For your misfortunes and your sick pain

Suck your perversions of every
Reason for everything
Just enough to dissolve them

(Pills are tools of masochism)

You polish rotting fruit
And claim 'It's good for you'
Why did you rot it in the first place

Make the jokes while you can
Because you are just a man
Woman, girl, boy that
Blinds yourself from the sickness

(You laugh in hopes of turning the reality
Into just another comedy in our heads only)


I won't laugh, I won't cry
Failed emotions keep you dry
Hypocrisy is your key
To your door that doesn't swing

(Hers swings both ways)
Mine swings shut
Cause I know
Just how bad it gets

With your eyes open wide
You are truly blind
To your own control
Over your whole world

Close your eyes and
Think for a time
Maybe really for the first time

(See how you have betrayed yourself)

All your pain and your
mind that is so deranged
Loosen the ties open your eyes

Cease this arrogance

Every one has their self to blame
For their own worthless pain
For the shape of their oblivion

I don't care what you think
Cause your mind slipped in the sink
Replaced by the plastic and
The pills, pills, pills, pills

(Stop laughing, this is your life
Why is she crying, it's only life
There's not enough, you're too much
Isn't there some god damn treatment for this)

Why won't you do something
Isn't there something you can do
You are a doctor, you should know
You are his mother, mom knows best

Just as long as he shoots up at home
I don't care, I don't know her
Dirty skank, she is not as dirty as me
Kill em, let's kill them all

Just ignore it, it'll pass
Smoking makes you look cool
A whore is a slut, but a pimp is admirable
Pain is good for stopping pain

Let's fight fire with fire
Just as long as we are fighting
Everyone is doing it
You will die if you say no

(Hey man, you used to be cool)
I am sick of these fools
Cause I know
Just how bad it gets

Drugs are tools of the masochist
Knowledge is power, ignorance is bliss

Drugs are tools of
The masochist
Knowledge is power
Ignorance is bliss

Arrogance breeds
In the masochist
Unlock you logic
Drop your fist

What a terrible shame
You will fail again and again
With only the self to blame
You are all a whole

Terrible shame
Failure is your one true friend
Hold close all of the blame
Unity falls down the hole
