Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I'm just a Judas, looking for a silver line… and tomorrow is still a step behind
Hey Hey Drama, I'd love to be a waste of your time…
Oh no thanks so much for wasting mine, so hear me out…
Let's hear it for the Damaged/Who understands but the Broken?
Developed in the arms of spite
I'm all fucked up and I make it look good/Adrenalin Sight tonight
I'm overthrown… I'm over your Throne… I'm over it
[Verse 2]
SICK-SICKENED-I'M SICKENING-I'M STRICKEN BY THE FIST
BLESSED ARE THE FIRES THAT HAVE BURNED ME
LISTEN TO THIS-THE LESSON IS-NEVER UNDERESTIMATE THE AGONY
…DEATH OF THE FOOL… BIRTH OF THE CRUEL…
[Verse 3]
Remember how you spent the best part of forever in a state of pure disease
It was another thing altogether to forget that you brought out the worst in me
Hey Karma, you don't feel like I do… you just wish you'd hate like I do
We are the Bitter/The Maladjusted and Wise/Fighting off a Generation too uptight
We're all dressed up with nobody to kill- The Rhetoric Stops Tonight
I'm overthrown… I'm over your Throne… I'm over it
[Verse 4]
SICK-SICKENED-I'M SICKENING-I'M STRICKEN BY THE FIST
BLESSED ARE THE FIRES THAT HAVE BURNED ME
LISTEN TO THIS-THE LESSON IS-NEVER UNDERESTIMATE THE AGONY
…DEATH OF THE FOOL… BIRTH OF THE CRUEL…
[Verse 5]
Now's not the time for denying- shifting the focus to scare
Let's not forget we're all guilty
All three dimensions polluted by earnest despair-
I'm overthrown… I'm over your Throne…
I'm overthrown… I'm over your Throne… I'm over it
