God save my synthetic soul, leave my flesh and blood behind
Lost myself down the rabbit hole, now there's nothing left to find
Baptize me in chemicals, dopamine, and cyanide
Watch me decompose in the artificial light
I stare into reflections that look like something
I once knew in essence it's all for nothing
It's all for nothing
It's all for nothing
It's all for nothing
God save my synthetic soul, only ash and dust remain
Where I'll go, only heaven knows, but I'll feel it just the same
Buried in the afterglow, move on, forget my name
Watch me decompose in an unforgiving way
I stare into reflections
That look like something
I once knew in essence
It's all for nothing
Burn me out or let me fade away
It's all for nothing
I'm holding on to things I cannot change
It's all for nothing
I will atone for all of my sins
For all of my flaws
Bring me the rapture
Tear me apart
Tear me apart
I will atone for all of my sins
For all of my flaws
Bring me the rapture
Tear me apart
Bleed me out
Broken and scarred
Bring me the rapture
Tear me apart
I stare into reflections
That look like something
I once knew in essence
It's all for nothing
Burn me out or let me fade away
It's all for nothing
I'm holding on to things I cannot change
It's all for nothing
God save my synthetic soul, leave my flesh and blood behind

NWO
This is the new world order
Step in line like swine to the slaughter
Kill all your idols, kill all your gods
They mean nothing to us
This is the new world order
Give me pain, give me rage, give me power
Kill your creator and make you all watch
You mean nothing to us
Born of a violent mind
Tortured and crucified
The pain will be purified
You can try, but you're not my kind
Hated and villainized
Cross to the other side
Self-righteous sacrifice
You can try, but you're not my kind
You can try, but you're not my kind
This is the new world order
Step in line like swine to the slaughter
Kill all your idols, kill all your gods
They mean nothing to us
This is the new world order
Give me pain, give me rage, give me power
Kill your creator and make you all watch
You mean nothing to us
Something to cure the itch
A finger to rip the stitch
Would you kill just to get your fix?
You can try, but you're not my kind
It's an eye for a f*cking eye
Go find a quiet place to die
Self-righteous suicide
You can try, but you're not my kind
You either find your place in the dirt
Or be crushed by the weight of the earth
Find your place in the dirt
Or be crushed by the weight of the earth
This is the new world order
Step in line like swine to the slaughter
Kill all your idols, kill all your gods
They mean nothing to us
This is the new world order
Give me pain, give me rage, give me power
Kill your creator and make you all watch
You mean nothing to us
You mean nothing to us
You mean nothing to us
Step in line like swine to the slaughter
Kill all your idols, kill all your gods
They mean nothing to us
This is the new world order
Give me pain, give me rage, give me power
Kill your creator and make you all watch
You mean nothing to us
Born of a violent mind
Tortured and crucified
The pain will be purified
You can try, but you're not my kind
Hated and villainized
Cross to the other side
Self-righteous sacrifice
You can try, but you're not my kind
You can try, but you're not my kind
This is the new world order
Step in line like swine to the slaughter
Kill all your idols, kill all your gods
They mean nothing to us
This is the new world order
Give me pain, give me rage, give me power
Kill your creator and make you all watch

Pray
Don't pray for me
Don't pray for me
You make me feel so f*cking broken
Only the pain inside reminds me of myself
Cut me open, watch me bleed, no saving grace, no sympathy
Found salvation six feet deep, from you, I found nothing
Don't pray for me
Don't pray for me
Oh, savior of the broken, go save yourself instead
All your good intentions will kill us in the end
Don't f*cking pray for me
Keep holding your breath, don't break the silence
With every word, you drag us further into Hell
Cut me open, watch me bleed, no saving grace, no sympathy
I found peace in misery, from you, I found nothing
Don't pray for me
Don't pray for me
Oh, savior of the broken, go save yourself instead
All your good intentions will kill us in the end
Don't f*cking pray for me
Run away, back to the hole from which you came
Run away, out of touch and out of place
Run away, get the f*ck out of my face
Don't pray for me
Don't pray for me
Oh, savior of the broken, go save yourself instead
All your good intentions will kill us in the end
Don't f*cking pray (don't f*cking pray)
Don't pray for me
For me
Don't pray for me
You make me feel so f*cking broken
Only the pain inside reminds me of myself
Cut me open, watch me bleed, no saving grace, no sympathy
Found salvation six feet deep, from you, I found nothing
Don't pray for me
Don't pray for me
Oh, savior of the broken, go save yourself instead
All your good intentions will kill us in the end
Don't f*cking pray for me
Keep holding your breath, don't break the silence
With every word, you drag us further into Hell
Cut me open, watch me bleed, no saving grace, no sympathy
I found peace in misery, from you, I found nothing
Don't pray for me
Don't pray for me
Oh, savior of the broken, go save yourself instead
All your good intentions will kill us in the end
Don't f*cking pray for me
Run away, back to the hole from which you came
Run away, out of touch and out of place
Run away, get the f*ck out of my face
Don't pray for me
Don't pray for me
Oh, savior of the broken, go save yourself instead
All your good intentions will kill us in the end
Don't f*cking pray (don't f*cking pray)
Don't pray for me
For me

Annihilate Me
I lie here with the maggots
Waiting for the rain
Covered in ash and dirt
I never seem to learn
Come wash it all away
I can't change what I won't admit
I can't remember if I won't forget
So pull the skin back from my bones
Annihilate me
Come nail me to my throne
Crown my head in shame
Covered in ash and dirt
I never seem to learn
Come nail me to my throne
I'm the king of suffering
(I'm the king of suffering)
I've tried to break the habit
I've learned to love the pain
And I can't change what I won't admit
I feel the vicious cycle start again
So pull the skin back from my bones
Annihilate me
Come nail me to my throne
Crown my head in shame
Covered in ash and dirt
I never seem to learn
Come nail me to my throne
I'm the king of suffering
Annihilate me
Annihilate me
Annihilate me
So pull the skin back from my bones
Annihilate me
Come nail me to my throne
Crown my head in shame
Covered in ash and dirt
I never f*cking learn
Come nail me to my throne
I'm the king of suffering
(Annihilate me)
The king of suffering
Annihilate me
Annihilate me
Annihilate me
I'm the king of suffering
Waiting for the rain
Covered in ash and dirt
I never seem to learn
Come wash it all away
I can't change what I won't admit
I can't remember if I won't forget
So pull the skin back from my bones
Annihilate me
Come nail me to my throne
Crown my head in shame
Covered in ash and dirt
I never seem to learn
Come nail me to my throne
I'm the king of suffering
(I'm the king of suffering)
I've tried to break the habit
I've learned to love the pain
And I can't change what I won't admit
I feel the vicious cycle start again
So pull the skin back from my bones

Come nail me to my throne
Crown my head in shame
Covered in ash and dirt
I never seem to learn
Come nail me to my throne
I'm the king of suffering
Annihilate me

So pull the skin back from my bones

Crown my head in shame
Covered in ash and dirt

Come nail me to my throne

Annihilate me
Annihilate me
I'm the king of suffering

Violent Nature
Shut the f*ck up, do me a favor
Cut your heart out (then swallow the razor)
I'm no saint, I'm not your savior
I'm a sick motherf*cker with a violent nature
I'm a sick motherf*cker with a violent nature
Break
Hate is all I know
I grind my teeth on the f*cking chain
'Til the feeling goes away
So I'll bite the hand that feeds
Just to watch it bleed
I'm a sick motherf*cker with a violent nature
I'm a sick motherf*cker with a violent nature
I'm a sick motherf*cker with a violent nature
Come break me and take me
To the unforgiving
Unmake me and save me
From this hell of living
Send me home
F*ck
I'm a sick motherf*cker with a violent nature
Violent nature
Cut your heart out (then swallow the razor)
I'm no saint, I'm not your savior
I'm a sick motherf*cker with a violent nature
I'm a sick motherf*cker with a violent nature
Break
Hate is all I know
I grind my teeth on the f*cking chain
'Til the feeling goes away
So I'll bite the hand that feeds
Just to watch it bleed
I'm a sick motherf*cker with a violent nature
I'm a sick motherf*cker with a violent nature
I'm a sick motherf*cker with a violent nature
Come break me and take me
To the unforgiving
Unmake me and save me
From this hell of living
Send me home
F*ck
I'm a sick motherf*cker with a violent nature

Rain
It's getting hard to find a meaning
Go grab your knife, it's killing season
I've buried all my friends
They all left me in the end
It's getting hard to find a meaning
I've watched you beg and plead for sympathy
But now the well's run dry
So let it rain down, wash over me
Come set me free from this misery
Need a way out of this apathy
Just set me free from this misery
Let it rain
It's getting hard to find a meaning
When every smile feels like treason
I've pulled on every thread
There's no reason to pretend
It's getting hard to find a meaning
I've watched you beg and plead for sympathy
But now the well's run dry
So let it rain down, wash over me
Come set me free from this misery
Need a way out of this apathy
Just set me free from this misery
Let it rain
In the wake of blood and thunder
You and I deserve each other
The hell above will drag us under
We were all just born to suffer
We were all just born to suffer, oh
So let it rain down, wash over me
Come set me free from this misery
Need a way out of this apathy
Just set me free from this misery
Let it rain
Let it rain
Let it rain
Go grab your knife, it's killing season
I've buried all my friends
They all left me in the end
It's getting hard to find a meaning
I've watched you beg and plead for sympathy
But now the well's run dry
So let it rain down, wash over me
Come set me free from this misery
Need a way out of this apathy
Just set me free from this misery

We were all just born to suffer
We were all just born to suffer, oh
So let it rain down, wash over me

Into Hell
Your tired eyes like open wounds
You see right through me
With every lie and bitter truth
You see right through me
So come and pull me closer
Take me even lower
We can find the calm before the storm
Though hell is freezing over
No peace of mind, no closure
We can find the calm before the storm
You can drag me through the fire
Throw me to the wolves
You're the closest thing to heaven
I'd follow you into hell
Follow you into hell
Your ember eyes ignite the room
They won't consume me
Just let me burn if I'm with you
Come falling to me
So come and pull me closer
Take me even lower
Can find our time before it's gone?
Though hell is freezing over
No peace of mind, no closure
Can find our time before it's gone?
You can drag me through the fire
Throw me to the wolves
You're the closest thing to heaven
I'd follow you into hell
Follow you into hell
If it meant I had to crawl through broken glass
Just to hold your hand
In the end, I'd give up everything just to burn with you
Drag me through the fire
Throw me to the wolves
You're the closest thing to heaven
I'd follow you into hell
I'd follow you into hell
(Your tired eyes like open wounds)
(You see right through me)
I'd follow you into hell
(With every lie and bitter truth)
(You see right through me)
I'll follow you into hell
You see right through me
With every lie and bitter truth
You see right through me
So come and pull me closer
Take me even lower
We can find the calm before the storm
Though hell is freezing over
No peace of mind, no closure
We can find the calm before the storm
You can drag me through the fire
Throw me to the wolves
You're the closest thing to heaven
I'd follow you into hell
Follow you into hell
Your ember eyes ignite the room
They won't consume me
Just let me burn if I'm with you
Come falling to me
So come and pull me closer
Take me even lower
Can find our time before it's gone?

Crimson & Clover
I boarded up the doors but you still broke in
Been picking up the pieces of myself
You went and painted black what once was golden
You're a better version of a different hell
We speak in tongues and we disguise our faces
But in the dark, I always know it's you
So torture me when it's over
And I lose composure
It's all in my head
But I still keep holding on
Your words like crimson and clover
Call back when you're sober
Tonight will end
And tomorrow you'll be gone
(Tomorrow you'll be gone)
I'd learn to tear these walls down if you'd let me
Been holding on to secrets we can't tell
Now I'm burning all the letters that you left me
Some part of me would love to wish you well, but I don't
We pretend to know the words but nothing changes
The hardest truth's the lie I held onto
So torture me when it's over
And I lose composure
It's all in my head
But I still keep holding on
Your words like crimson and clover
Call back when you're sober
'Cause tonight will end
And tomorrow you will say you found yourself
And you wish me back to hell
But you'll lay your head down with me on your mind
So go dream of someone else
Because we cannot fix ourselves
We only have the scars we tried to hide
But we've done this dance before a thousand times
So torture me when it's over
And I lose composure
It's all in my head
But I still keep holding on
Your words like crimson and clover
Call back when you're sober
Tonight will end
And tomorrow I'll be gone
Been picking up the pieces of myself
You went and painted black what once was golden
You're a better version of a different hell
We speak in tongues and we disguise our faces
But in the dark, I always know it's you
So torture me when it's over
And I lose composure
It's all in my head
But I still keep holding on
Your words like crimson and clover
Call back when you're sober
Tonight will end
And tomorrow you'll be gone
(Tomorrow you'll be gone)
I'd learn to tear these walls down if you'd let me
Been holding on to secrets we can't tell
Now I'm burning all the letters that you left me
Some part of me would love to wish you well, but I don't
We pretend to know the words but nothing changes
The hardest truth's the lie I held onto
So torture me when it's over

God
F*ck
I'd set the world on fire just to watch you burn
You self-righteous prick, when will you f*cking learn
That you can't be saved?
Look into my eyes and meet your God
Meet your God
I'll rip your tongue from your mouth
Your words fall on deaf ears
I'll strike you down, snuff you out
Your prayers will go unanswered, f*ck
Pray for mercy from your master
Your prayers will go unanswered
You worthless f*cking bastard
Your prayers will go unanswered
Meet your God
Parasitic, inorganic, counterfeited
Narcissistic, self-obsessive, what's the difference?
Is it hatred or fear
When you pray to your God and the devil appears?
The ending is near
You will f*cking rot
Blood of the heretics, sins of the arrogant, built my empire of bones
Slaughter my enemies, all who opposed me are skulls at the foot of my throne
Hand me the noose, I'll tie the knot
Look in my eyes and meet your God
Meet your God
I'd set the world on fire just to watch you burn
You self-righteous prick, when will you f*cking learn
That you can't be saved?
Look into my eyes and meet your God
Meet your God
I'll rip your tongue from your mouth
Your words fall on deaf ears
I'll strike you down, snuff you out
Your prayers will go unanswered, f*ck
Pray for mercy from your master
Your prayers will go unanswered
You worthless f*cking bastard
Your prayers will go unanswered
Meet your God
Parasitic, inorganic, counterfeited
Narcissistic, self-obsessive, what's the difference?
Is it hatred or fear
When you pray to your God and the devil appears?
The ending is near
You will f*cking rot
Blood of the heretics, sins of the arrogant, built my empire of bones

Stay Away
So long
Farewell
I'm never coming down again
Stay away
You speak a lot about forgiveness
It must be nice when you're never f*cking wrong
I fear it's spreading like a sickness
The bile tastes like sugar on your tongue
And I can feel you claw at my skin
But I won't let you in
I feel nothing for you, I'm sorry
So long
Farewell
I'm never coming down again
Stay away
Looks like you found your new obsession
Picking wings off butterflies
You never seem to learn the lesson
But I think you will in time
Now I feel you claw at my skin
But I won't let you in
I feel nothing for you, I'm sorry
So long
Farewell
I'm never coming down again
So spare me
Your naivety
What's lost cannot be found, my friend
Stay away
So long
Farewell
I'm never coming down (never coming down)
Again (again)
So spare me (stay away)
Your naivety (stay away)
What's lost cannot be found, my friend (my friend)
Stay away
Farewell
I'm never coming down again
Stay away
You speak a lot about forgiveness
It must be nice when you're never f*cking wrong
I fear it's spreading like a sickness
The bile tastes like sugar on your tongue
And I can feel you claw at my skin
But I won't let you in
I feel nothing for you, I'm sorry
So long
Farewell
I'm never coming down again
Stay away
Looks like you found your new obsession
Picking wings off butterflies

But I think you will in time
Now I feel you claw at my skin
But I won't let you in
I feel nothing for you, I'm sorry

Your naivety
What's lost cannot be found, my friend
Stay away
So long
Farewell
I'm never coming down (never coming down)

Your naivety (stay away)
