Despicable

Your days are numbered

So your silver tongue got a taste of the high life
Now you're hungry for more
Swimming with the sharks like you belong
You know you're wrong
So you traded in your conscience for a lifetime of misery
Lying to yourself like yeah, you won
But you're facing a loaded gun

I see what you've become
A servant of your own life

Searching for an answer to a question you never learned to ask
You haven't earned what you think you deserve

Why do you try so hard to be something you aren't
Consider what you've gained
And what you've lost

You can't escape your life
There's recognition in their eyes
Some things you can't deny
No amount of pain could make me
Sacrifice my life for your worthless cause
You've become the despicable one

Now you've forgotten what it feels like to truly thrive
Fighting to stay afloat but the waves keep crashing down
How can you weather the storm
You've had them fooled for so long
But they're starting to notice your weakness
It's only a matter of time
Before you fall
That skin you wear, it never fit quite right
Tried to run with the wolves
But you're just a sheep
And they've caught on
How can you say you never saw it coming

Why do you try so hard to be something you aren't
Consider what you've gained
And what you've lost

You can't escape your life
There's recognition in their eyes
Some things you can't deny
No amount of pain could make me
Sacrifice my life for your worthless cause
You've become the despicable one

Despicable
You've gone too far
It came so easily, you ripped us apart
You're despicable
I'm seeing it clear now
You're blinded by your own ambition
You won't last a mile in those shoes
I cannot stand by and let you take me down with you

One day you'll slip up
You'll be exposed
For the fraud that you are

You can feel it closing in no matter how hard you try to escape
Your reckoning is unstoppable and
When it finally arrives it'll make you go insane

In the eye of the hurricane
From the outside, breaking in, never to atone
Looking back on all your failures
You'll begin to realize that you're all alone

No one's gonna help you
You've dug yourself too deep
Just keep on sinking til the pressure drags you underneath
No one's gonna help you
(Help you)
Buried in your tomb

Your days are numbered
