Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Compassion is broken now
My will is eroded now
Desire is broken now
It makes me feel ugly
[Verse 2]
On my knees, I'm burning
My piss and moans are fueling
I set my head on fire
Smell my soul, it's burning
[Verse 3]
Broken, looking up at the enemy
And I have swallowed the poison you feed me
But I survived on the poison you feed me
[Verse 4]
Guilt fed
Hatred fed
Weakness fed
It makes me feel ugly
[Verse 5]
On my knees, I'm burning
My piss and moans are fueling
I set my head on fire
I'm dead inside
[Verse 6]
Shit adds up
Shit adds up
Shit adds up
Shit adds up at the bottom
[Verse 7]
If I let you, you would make me destroy myself
In order to survive you, I must first survive myself
And I can sink no further, and I cannot forgive you
There's no choice but to confront you to engage you, to erase you
I've gone to great lengths to expand my threshold of pain
I will use my mistakes against you
There is no other choice
Shameless now
Nameless now
Nothing now
No one now
But my soul must be iron
'Cause my fear is naked
I'm naked and fearless
And my fear is naked
[Verse 8]
Dead inside
Dead inside
Dead inside
Dead inside
[Verse 9]
Nameless now
Shameless now
Nothing now
No one now
[Verse 10]
(Shit adds up)
(Shit adds up)
(Shit adds up)
(Shit)
As you see me naked now
Fearless now
Naked now
Fearless now
[Verse 11]
(Shit adds up, shit adds up)
(Shit adds, shit adds, shit adds up)
[Verse 12]
It leaves me
Dead inside
Dead inside
Dead inside
Dead inside
[Verse 13]
Hatred keeps me alive
Loneliness has kept me alive
Weakness keeps me alive
Guilt keeps me alive at the bottom
