Lyrics

[Verse 1]
this world rejects me
this world threw me away
this world never gave me a chance
this world gonna have to pay
and i don't believe in your institutions
i did what you want me to
and like the cancer in your system
i've got a little surprise for you
[Verse 2]
something inside of me
has opened up its eyes
why did you put it there?
did you not realize?
this thing inside of me
it screams the loudest sound
sometimes i think i could
burn
burn
i look down there, where you're standing
flock of sheep out on display
with all your lies bumped up around you
i can take it all away
[Verse 3]
something inside of me
has opened up its eyes
why did you put it there?
did you not realize?
something inside of me
it screams the loudest sound
sometimes i think i could
i'm gonna burn this whole world down
i'm gonna burn this whole world down
[Verse 4]
i never was a part of you
burn
[Verse 5]
i am your savior
i am corruption
i am the angel
of your destruction
i am perversion
secret desire
i am your future
swallowed up in fire
