Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I'm in conniptions for the final act you came here for
The one derivative you manage is the one I abhor
I need a minute to elaborate for everyone the
Everyday bullshit things that you have done
Your impossible ego-fuck is like a megalomaniacal tab on my tongue
You fuckin' touch me I will rip you apart
I'll reach in and take a bite out of that shit you call a heart
[Verse 2]
I don't mind being ogled/ridiculed/made to feel minuscule
If you consider the source, it's kinda pitiful
The only thing you really know about me is
…that's all you'll ever know
[Verse 3]
I know why you blame me, I know why you blame (Yourself)
I know why you plague me, I know why you plague YOURSELF
[Verse 4]
I'm turning it around like a knife in the shell
I wanna understand why but I'm hurting myself
I haven't seen a lotta reasons to stop it
I can't just drop it
I'm just a bastard but at least I admit it
At least I admit it
[Verse 5]
I know why you blame me, I know why you blame (Yourself)
I know why you plague me, I know why you plague YOURSELF
[Verse 6]
Kill You/Fuck You/I will never be you
I can't fuckin' take it anymore
A snap of the synapse and now it's fuckin' war
Kill You/Fuck You/I will never be you
[Verse 7]
I know why you blame me, I know why you blame (Yourself)
I know why you plague me, I know why you plague (Yourself)
I know why you plague YOURSELF
