[Intro]

I've felt the hate rise up in me

Kneel down and clear the stone of leaves

I wander out where you can't see

Inside my shell, I wait and bleed


[Chorus]

I've felt the hate rise up in me

Kneel down and clear the stone of leaves

I wander out where you can't see

Inside my shell, I wait and bleed


[Verse 1]

Goodbye

I wipe it off on tile, the light is brighter this time

Everything is 3D blasphemy

My eyes are red and gold, the hair is standing straight up

This is not the way I pictured me

I can't control my shakes, how the hell did I get here?

Something about this, so very wrong

I have to laugh out loud, I wish I didn't like this

Is it a dream or a memory?


[Chorus]

I've felt the hate rise up in me

Kneel down and clear the stone of leaves

I wander out where you can't see

Inside my shell, I wait and bleed


[Verse 2]

Get outta my head, 'cause I don't need this

Why didn't I see this?

But I'm a victim, Manchurian candidate

I have sinned by just

Makin' my mind up and takin' your breath away


[Chorus]

I've felt the hate rise up in me

Kneel down and clear the stone of leaves

I wander out where you can't see

Inside my shell, I wait and bleed

I've felt the hate rise up in me

Kneel down and clear the stone of leaves

I wander out where you can't see

Inside my shell, I wait and bleed


[Bridge]

Goodbye

You haven't learned a thing

I haven't changed a thing

The flesh was in my bones

The pain was always free

You haven't learned a thing

I haven't changed a thing

The flesh was in my bones

The pain was always free


[Chorus]

I've felt the hate rise up in me

Kneel down and clear the stone of leaves

I wander out where you can't see

Inside my shell, I wait and bleed

I've felt the hate rise up in me

Kneel down and clear the stone of leaves

I wander out where you can't see

Inside my shell, I wait and bleed


[Outro]

And it waits for you
