Today I stood by and watched my best friend (I fucked this up)
Get beaten by some degenerate
I didn't even lift a finger
I didn't even let guilt linger
I picked my best friend up off the ground
He tried to speak but only gurgled sounds
Spewed forth from anger, set in stone
I told him to watch his fucking tone
Cuz I'm not a motherfucker to be trifled with
We wound up walking sixteen blocks
And getting fucked with by the cops
All my rage, inside was growing
Each step I took, it seeped to flowing
I will not be fueled by the lies I'm fed
I will not be ashamed of this life I've led
My grudges and hushed sounds
This whole fucking ghost town will pay
This whole fucking town will pay
All I need is to set one trap
Some kerosene
And a baseball bat
And I will tear this city apart
I've been bleeding for years
And now I'm hemorrhaging
Been bleeding for years, and now
All I see is you claiming to be someone
With hopes yet dashed and a love that's come undone
But I see through your built up bullshit
Sadness sells and you know this all too well
I have come to challenge the masterpiece
I am willing to give it all up for free
I have come to challenge the masterpiece
I will give it all away
