you're all magnificent
i'm insignificant
to all the others that have made their mistakes
you live for drama
i live for giving you all
a finger in the face of every single lie you have made

you want everything from me
and i won't give it away
to anybody that'll use me
and will make me lose faith
i wish somebody'd come along
with a case that proves me wrong
cuz i don't wanna have hate
in my heart like a blade of restraint

use me and lose me
now you confuse me
spread open wide inside this bed you have made
you don't impress me
as you undress me
i'm not inspired by the chance to get laid

take me to the bottom of that bottomless drop
so i can catch the edge of an emotionless thought
conforming to the pattern my experience earns
now where the hell can i turn, faceless in the blaze as i burn

you want everything from me
and i won't give it away
to anybody that'll use me
and will make me lose faith
i wish somebody'd come along
with a case that proves me wrong
and i don't wanna have hate
in my heart like a blade of restraint

why do you hold me back
and throw my life off-track
why do you always get the better of me
as you bring out the worst
you make me feel so cursed
to bear this burden seems so pointless to me

so kiss my ass
i won't hold back anymore
you're such a bitch
you're such an arrogant whore
kiss the friendship goodbye
and don't you ever ask why
cuz you know that i've thrown you away

you want everything from me
and i won't give it away
to anybody that'll use me
and will make me lose faith
i wish somebody'd come along
with a case that proves me wrong
cuz i don't wanna lose faith
in this path i have paved

i wish somebody'd come along
with a case that proves me wrong
cuz i don't wanna have hate
in my heart like a blade of restraint
