Lyrics:
[Intro]

[Verse 1]
Someone like me sees the worst in you
The niceties of mankind are extinct in you
No chance, what’s the odds you’ll start anew
Keep the bones in the closet, they can stay untrue

Wear facades, crack a smile, that’s all you know
Toxic tongues, spreading lies, you’ll punch below
You can dodge deceit, flaunt your tricks, and mislead
Twist your knife, die inside, go blow for blow, uh

[Chorus Riff]

[Verse 2]
Sometimes, I can visualise the worst in us
You pour salt in our wounds, desecrate our trust
Sometimes, I don’t comprehend the words you speak
You give praise one moment, then present critiques

Sometimes, I can't think of what fate awaits
Count your blessings, your lies, and your grave mistakes
Sometimes, I can't wait till you're part of the past
In your casket, will you talk forgiveness at last?

[Chorus 1]
Wear your crown, it’s drilled into your head (it’s hollowed out)
Speak from trenches that you’ve dug instead (but silence shouts)
Whine and cry, rain on your guilt parade
You can’t compromise, you’re just hypnotised, dance in your disgrace

[Post-Chorus 1]
When you die
Will you remember me, or see me as you fade
You fade away
For eternity, today

[Verse 3]
Someone like me sees the worst in them
I visualise all the lies, see where it stems
From the bud, to the root, it’s condemned
Turning over new leaves? May resolve be damned

You're cold, disconnected, life misdirected
Rot alone, buried deep where worms adorn
You stay disaffected, have you ever reflected?
When you're gone, will there be a soul that mourns?

[Chorus 2]
Wear your crown, it’s drilled into your head (it’s hollowed out)
Speak from trenches that you’ve dug instead (but silence shouts)
Whine and cry, rain on your guilt parade
You can’t compromise, you’re just hypnotised, dance in your disgrace

[Post-Chorus 2]
When you die
Will you remember me, or see me as you fade
You fade away
For eternity, today

[Outro]
Bite your tongue
Clench your jaw
Your halo’s cracked
You can’t compromise, you’re just hypnotised, dance in your disgrace
