You move too close to me
Playing yourself low-key
I know who you are
And why you've come so far
Why should I care
As long as you're aware?
You have no hold on me
You are my enemy
You keep on pushing me
I can't hold back
You bring this on yourself if I attack
Please don't bring this out of me
For there's no pity and no mercy
I hold it in until I cave in
Beneath the surface
Underneath the skin
Scrutinize, you don't realize
The size of this demise
Third to best, first to last
Scripted lives feel imminent
Among the masses
A borrowed mind goes weak
And dies as time passes
Regrouping myself
Forgetting the pain that I've felt
Reading between the lines
That you gave me
Pick me apart and scatter the pieces
Nameless and stapled
Shut my eyes are open
With one emotion
You're the cause of my demise
My antagony
For once
I cannot say why it's happening
Your choice not mine for the taking
Take me on a different
Path of retribution
I have no answers for myself
Fire burns in the pupils of many
Ice burns in only one
Regrouping myself
Forgetting the pain that I've felt
Reading between the lines
That you gave me
Pick me apart and scatter the pieces
Nameless and stapled
Shut my eyes are open
With one emotion
You're the cause of my demise
My antagony
All this at the cost of my dismay
With this no compromising
(Please don't bring this out of me)
You brought this on yourself
Don't beg, don't scream for help
