Lyrics:
IF GOD EXISTS HE'D BETTER ASK FOR FORGIVENESS.
“I cannot breathe, you’re choking me. You’re choking me, I cannot breathe.”
Hear through the doors: the agony, the pain you caused.
But that’s what you get for killing the best in me.
And now I’m burning inside
Lying face down
Running from the shadows in the dark whose faces contort.
I grasp on to a gold cross hoping that they’ll come and save me but they might as well say:
"Burn apostates
Burn the wreckage
Burn up fucking everyone who dares to defy my word."
You’re the wolf that cries and you victimise
Then you take all that I’ve got and let yourself ascend to the divine.
Thread the needle through my eye
You put me here for the taking
Now I’ve fallen behind and I’m the one they hate
I’ll be the one they hate
I'll be the one they hate.
YOU KILLED THE BEST IN ME.
Frenzied disease and the fathers lust,
To breathe life into a rusted cross.
And every curse, it still feeds me
And still nobody ever needs me
I cut my ties and the rain turns to rust
And it’s safe to fucking say:
YOU KILLED THE BEST IN US.
I hope I find a way to claw myself out from these chains
The memories they're feeding me will never be the same as what I dreamed I’d always be, but now that time has changed.
Now all I hear is distant people screaming my name.
