Lyrics
This world rejects me This world threw me away This world never gave me a chance This world gonna have to pay Well I don't believe in your institutions I did what you wanted me to I'm like the cancer in your system I've got a little surprise for you Something inside of me Has opened up its eyes Why did you put it there? Did you not realize This thing inside of me It screams the loudest sound Sometimes I think I could Burn I look down from at where you're standing Flock of sheep out on display With all your lies bumped up around you I can take it all away Something inside of me Has opened up its eyes Why did you put it there? Did you not realize Something inside of me It screams the loudest sound Sometimes I think I could I'm gonna burn this whole world down I never was a part of you Burn I was a soldier I am corruption I am the agent Of your destruction I am perversion Sick with desire I am your future Swallowed up in fire
