lyrics

*Verse*
Whilst pointing and bleating
His peers whom revere him, are quoting the books that he's read
With gestures revealing, his head nods sincerely
These criminals taught him to best the people who fear him
(Whose loved-ones killed for him)
In turn pay him off with death
Squandered to violence, dead-eyed they pilot patriot holes through their heads

It's pointless (we know it)
Once spinless now growing
As will the horns in his head
It's alarming to process, our arses his hostess
But not me, I refuse to bend
Now standing before me, the simplest of score sheets
I tick off the one that seems best
And I know he'll rape me and beat me
And whore me... I walked in to a door again

*Chorus*
Keep falling down with broken hands
I'm bandaged, blackened, numb
Hold me up to let the sky purify this broken man
Why can I just see?
Leave the body and break free?
Look inside if you long to believe
That everything I have seen is empty
