Prequel

Dear diary
Dear diary
I've been searching
For a higher me
I'm in the sky
In the pilot's seat
Trying to stop my mind
From spiraling
And that's irony
That's irony
I'm just looking
For a resolution
I just want to be a
Better human
But it's hard when
Everybody's acting stupid

Pardon me
If that came off rude
I just have
A bad attitude
With the world
And not just with you
It's the side effects
Of abuse
I admit
I'm a little strange
I don't think that
I'll ever change
I survived
A whole life of pain
You could say I
Escaped My Fate

I'm a cynical
Egotistical
Unpredictable
Hardened criminal
And I can be a little
Hypocritical
But I'll admit it
Straight to your face
I'm unbreakable
Irreplaceable
Undeniably inspirational
I used everything
I had available
To make me the person
I am today

Dear diary
Dear diary
I just had
Another wild dream
I was in a world
That admired me
And when I woke up
I was smiling
And that's irony
That's irony
You talk a lot
But you don't even know me
I'm just hoping
That my testimony
Will inspire y'all
To stop acting phony

Pardon me
If that came off weird
I don't mean to be mean
I swear
I have been through
A lot this year
I just want to
Make a few things clear
I don't like it
When people hate
Behind my back
And not to my face
Nowadays
It just feels so fake
So I'll cut the grass
To expose the snakes

I'm unstoppable
It's impossible
You don't wanna see the
Diabolical
Side of me
That never stops
It's volatile
So I suggest you stay
In your lane
I'm unapologetic
You know where it's headed
I will never ever
Let up off the pedal
I got the spirit of
Every warrior in me ever
So back the fuck-up
Get out my face

You're a slave to labor
And you praise the fascist
You kiss the hand
That takes half in taxes
Faking outrage
And being seen
A generation
With no self-esteem
It's time to rise up
And stand against them
Break the chains
And finally see the vision
We're post-traumatic
From a broken system
Follow me into the
Chaos engine

It's time to stand
It's time to fight
Don't be afraid
To twist the knife
Your sacrifice
To break the curse
Prepare to die
Prepare to burn
Abandon hope
It's not enough
'Cause all our gods
Abandoned us
Your sacrifice
To break the curse
Light the match
Watch it burn

Heaven falls
The angels die
Let it burn
From the start
When everything falls apart
When everything falls apart
(Why have you forsaken me?)
When everything falls apart
(Heavy is the crown you see)

When everything falls apart
(Why have you forsaken me?)
When everything falls apart
(Heavy is the crown, it seems)
When everything falls apart
When everything falls apart
