[Verse 1]

Go ahead, raise your fist

Revel in your mire and filth

Like a fat little

Pink gets ugly quick

Parading your waste

Oblivious and insolent


[Chorus 1]

Why don't I

Just put you out of your misery?

Out of sympathy

I can only stand it so long


[Verse 2]

Go ahead, flash your smile

A season of fattening

Prime of the canine

And swine-bred children of guile

Carry on, carry on

I know who I am

Wretched worm

Myself deserving of hell

I fell on the mercy

You despised and denied


[Chorus 2]

Oh, why don't I

Just put you out of your misery?

Out of sympathy

I can only stand so much

Watching you torture yourself

And whoever else you can bring down


[Post-Chorus]

Bring down

Bring down


[Verse 3]

Watching you curse the sky

Your stomach must turn inside you

Come over to the other side

The past destruction of life

A song took from our souls

A home that is our own

We're all born remembering

But few of us will know

The tip of your tongue

A memory in mind

Just outside of you


[Bridge]

Will you wake to find

The rest you so clearly seek

Or painfully realize that it's lost

Forever?


[Chorus 2]

Oh, why don't I

Just put you out of your misery?

Out of sympathy

I can only stand so much

Watching you torture yourself

And whoever else you can bring down

Bring down

Suffer
