It's a matter of scale
It's a matter of trust
It's a matter of cold hearted backstabbing doing what you must
It's a matter of life
It's a matter of death
It's a matter of calculated manipulation with every waking breath
It's just a matter of time
Until it's all mine
I've set my sights on everything and maybe just a little bit more
This is the Newest Flesh
Peeled away until there's nothing left
This is the final test
Culminating metamorphosis
It's a matter of pride
It's a matter of spite
It's a matter of self-deluding total conviction that everything is right
It's a matter of love
It's a matter of fear
It's a matter of tearing away every f*cking thing that you hold dear
And when you ascend
Will the means have justified the end?
And if you should fall
Will your back be up against the wall?
