lyrics

Getting into a knife fight with god
He guts you up the front, you were flawed
What does he do with your body
Made in his image but a little shoddy
Looking at himself on the floor
Looks like the back of a convenience store
Something that you knew existed
You're just not quite familiar with it
He hides you in plain sight
Only able to come out at night
Below the crust of the earth
Is where you created your own hearth
A place for you to live and prosper
Except you're not alive now are you sir
Your skin has pigmented itself
To match the color of your cell
No longer white and etherial
A dark Crimson with a black soul
One thing you kept from heaven
Was a hate for man
He was always gods favorite
And you didn't like that one bit
The difference between spite and cruelty
Is that spite may make it hard to breath
But at least in the end you'll be alright
You just want to finish this fight
With cruelty however it's not so
You only want to reap and never sew
That's where you clipped your wings off
Something new, you couldn't be stopped
Now your hell burns brighter everyday
But you're neutral evil you don't sway
A tortuous man if you can be called such
To be called man is implying too much
Now imagine this wasn't you
And you still have life to do
You're not trapped anywhere
You're on earth without a care
But it's me down here
And I've got some beer
So if you wanna join me
Just avoid this plea
If there's one thing I say you listen to
Please choose this it's important to you
Soamething that a father should never say
"Son I've given up now get out of my way"
