AP Revisionist History

And scene, co-direct my life for me Rewrite everything you don't believe Throw out all the lore and history They just get in the way of the world you portray My life in your character design No nuance or moral compromise All evil on earth personified You're the light, I'm the shade, there's no room for the gray So you throw me out to sea Tie me down with extra weight And in case you see me breathe You can burn me at the stake But you left me drowning I'm sinking deeper by the day I'm fucking drowning In things I cannot change Left adrift to the undertow, I'm bound When I come up for air, you push me down All the way to the seafloor ground Where I lay in the sand in the grasp of your hand Write it off like you do for everything An accident that you couldn't see coming Another verse in the requiem you sing Out of time, out of tune, out of breath, out of key So what are you waiting for? Choke me to death Watch as I suffocate Finish me off Clean up the mess you made Throw me away Bury me under this weight (You're the light, I'm the shade, there's no room for the gray) So you throw me out to sea Tie me down with extra weight And in case you see me breathe You can burn me at the stake (But you left me drowning) I'm sinking deeper by the day I'm fucking drowning In things I cannot change
