My faith in mankind fading

My trust of stealth evading

I'll take your inner peace from you

I'll break your mental spine in two

Nerve

You're on my patience

You will taste my sting

Nerve

Get off me, waste your time on someone weak

Nerve

You are defacing in your ignorance

Nerve

Find a replacement

Not at my expense

This feeling washes over me

I try to overlook the sleaze

Just when I find the smallest trace

Of good, there you are in my face

What is it that you've done

That makes you special?

What is it that you are

Please show me

I can't tell

What is it you possess

That no one else does?

How is it you conclude

You are above?

A million voices in the midnight sun

I close my eyes to the sound and crack the seal on my tongue

A million gasping dreams coming undone

I clench my teeth once again and feel the sting in my lungs
