Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Come step inside my hate you know there's nothing to it
Step inside my pain you'll never make it through it
Once you're sucked into my sado-paradise
Lose your mind inside the pleasure lies within your pain
Pain
[Verse 2]
Drown in my hate you know, you know
Brutality's the way of this world
Branded and scarred defy, defy
A comatose and blind existence
Hatred holocaust you see in me
It's more than just a way of life
I've reinvented the way
I relate to this complacent world
[Verse 3]
All of life decays
Rapes my eyes
Screams never silence the pain
Death is like an old friend
I can't wait to watch you die
[Verse 4]
I am your vice so real, so real
Desire for the scars of new flesh
Bathe in your blood excites / incites
The ritualistic lacerations
Inhumanities profane, insane
Inflicted since the dawn of time
Make your peace with God—goodbye
And embrace the pain that burns inside you
[Verse 5]
All of life decays
Rapes my eyes
Screams never silence the pain
Death is like an old friend
I can't wait to watch you die
I can't wait
[Verse 6]
Come step inside my hate you know there's nothing to it
Step inside my pain you'll never make it through it
Redefine your life in sado-paradise
Necessary cleansing of the mind's eye
Love the agony electric ecstasy
Can't get enough euphoric serenity
Stains won't fade away forever scarstruck
They never fade away forever scarstruck
[Verse 7]
Drown in my hate you know, you know
Brutality's the way of my world
Branded and scarred defy, defy
A comatose and blind existence
You're like the walking dead, so blind inside
Oblivious to psycho pleasure
I am your new God—unGod
So if you want hell here I am
[Verse 8]
Everything around me decays
Rapes my eyes
Screams never silence the pain
Make you my canvas of pure fresh flesh
Scarstruck
Scarstruck
Scarstruck
