[Verse 1]

Truth comes in twos

One is mine, one is yours

Gossip reaffirms what you thought that you heard

Now you're deaf, blind, dumb and confused

So you spew like a sewer of your truth until you purge it out

All those words that you puked turned our blue into brown


[Chorus]

I'm grooming my replacement

Consuming all their hatred


[Verse 2]

The insects come to life under the movie lights

Keep a list in my mind of the times that you cried "neophyte"

You wear me like a suit

Spine upright filled with screws

Stand up tall like your old man wantеd you to

Show some gall and be mean

Likе I want you to be


[Chorus]

I'm grooming my replacement

Consuming all their hatred

I'm grooming my replacement

Consuming all their hatred


[Bridge]

Accruing a debt that you can't afford

But you've heard it all, said it all, done it before

I gnawed at your center, I rotted your core


[Breakdown]

But you've heard it all

Said it all

Right?


[Outro]

I'm already in your mind

Your brain's a vehicle for my failures

So give me the fucking light

Give me the

Light

Give me the fucking light

Give me the
