[Intro]

"What is your fucking problem?"

You wanna know what my problem is?

Oh my God


[Verse 1]

Alone, I walk beside myself

Alone, you put me on your shelf

Alone with my insanity

Alone, no one to blame but me


[Pre-Chorus 1]

But if you had told me when I was much younger

That life has a way of pulling you right under

Wouldn't be standing here preaching my hate

Stand at the edge staring into my fate


[Chorus]

(I see through you!)

What makes you think that you're God?

(I see through you!)

Pick up the pieces as I fall apart

(I see through you!)

Why must you fuck with me this way?

(I see through you!)

Wither away with me


[Verse 2]

Betrayed, you left me here for dead

Betrayed by the voices in my head

Betrayed, left me out in the rain

Betrayed, nothing left but pain


[Pre-Chorus 2]

I'm sick of the answers you have to my questions

Your cannibal instincts and false dedications

Leave me here cold, nothing left but my shell

Die while I'm living and burn in my hell


[Chorus]

(I see through you!)

What makes you think that you're God?

(I see through you!)

Pick up the pieces as I fall apart

(I see through you!)

Why must you fuck with me this way?

(I see through you!)

Wither away with me


[Bridge]

Pick you apart, little by little

'Til nothing is left but the look on your face

Once inside, I can get at what's inside

Beneath your facade, I can see your disgrace


[Pre-Chorus 3]

The walls that you built up will crumble around you

The pain you will feel as you wither away

The sun, though it comes up, will warm you no longer

Your strongest emotions I’ll make you betray


[Chorus]

(I see through you!)

What makes you think that you're God?

(I see through you!)

Pick up the pieces as I fall apart

(I see through you!)

Why must you fuck with me this way?

(I see through you!)

Wither away with me


[Outro]

Pick you apart, little by little

'Til nothing is left but the look on your face

Once inside, I can get at what's inside

Beneath your facade, I can see your disgrace
