Before I Go

Open the floodgates. Let them in
Looks like the sheep have fangs
I see the witch hunts, the vendettas
I know every word they'll say

Like vultures, like rodents breeding disease
Every moment you draw breath now is mercy from me
Let the sky fall. You're standing pretty tall.
It's all fun and games, but you poisoned the well and now you can't even tell

I can't control their hatred. I can only face my own
So while I walk on this higher path
Won't you take your place in the depths that you own?
Just take a look at the hate and the pain in your heart
Let it drive you insane or turn it back into art

You think you know me
You think you know me but you don't
You should have went for my throat

No one can say that I didn't earn this
Don't you fucking tell me that I don't deserve this
I gave it all up just to return
The love that I lost
The lessons I have learned.

I can't control their hatred. I can only face my own
So while I walk on this higher path
Won't you take your place in the depths that you own?
Just take a look at the hate and the pain in your heart
Let it drive you insane or turn it back into art

I've seen this bitterness a hundred times before
Hello there. You only wish you'd done more
