You either love me or you don't
No more of this inbetweening
I'm sick of trying to make ends meet in this city
All while you're persecuting and insulting me
I'm tripping over all these different ways that you're pulling me
And you know it'd be so easy
To be like you and hurt those like me, because
People become monsters eat people become monsters eat
People become monsters eat people become monsters eat
Violence creates violence
Cycle of the mindless
This is my attempt at creative defiance
I make light out of the darkness
You don't understand, I need this
Do not deny me my catharsis
You love to hate me or you don't
I'm so done with not believing
That your closet skeletons are packed to the ceiling
And now these bones are in control of your destiny
If you don't let them out you'll be the one that they bury
And you know it'd be so damn easy to hurt those like me
Instead I'll use my own form of alchemy
To turn red scars that bleed
Into blue rivers and streams and oceans and seas
But you fight me, you bite me
Anything to feed on me, because
People become monsters eat people become
Monsters eat people become
Violence creates violence
Cycle of the mindless
This is my attempt at creative defiance
I make light out of the darkness
You don't understand, I need this
Do not deny me my-
Violence creates mindless blindness behind eyelids
This is my attempt at breaking all the silence
I make brightness from the likeness of this black hole's iris
Do not deny me my catharsis
"Feeling and free is not what you should be"
Is the lie these beings say to me
I say these broken human beings don't know how to bleed
I say these broken human beings have a need to feed on me
There's a harsh but beautiful truth I believe
Sometimes you have to scream just to breathe
