Lyrics

Do you know what it feels like to be half a man? Drawing lines as they disconnect them Living in a shadow of the world that hunts the weak Trapped in this body that hides me So I let these patterns fall Swore an oath and I moved on from All the ties that made me human You tried and failedโ€” If you're worth it, prove it You loved me Even though I was born with this disease I found my purpose in this world Thanks to you, it was all for nothing You may mean more to me but I will not beg for my right to be Look at my face and realize I'll be gone, Once I get what I want Is it all about proving who you are To the people you think have a heart? Maybe that's just a lie You'd like to believe that it wasn't meant to deceive I will only use you to make them see A god walks among you but sleeps within me If you could see what I seeโ€” Death, age, and disease I watched my brother burn I watched my father die, and drive my mother insane So tell me again, what do you know of pain? What do you know? You may mean more to me but I will not beg for my right to be Look at my face and realize I'll be gone, Once I get what I want Is it all about proving who you are To the people you think have a heart? I know that could never be achieved All the faceless deserters They don't even know you're alive And I'd rather die before I see the wake of blood drown out all I hear 'Cause existing with purpose Is the only fucking thing they fear What have they done to my eyes? Tear them outโ€” Tear, them, out You gave me what I needed To reach the end Now you'll watch from the stage As everything you took from me Is recreated in the eyes you left for me To teach me and leave me with a sense of humility But you were wrong So I let these patterns fall Swore an oath and I moved on from All the ties that made me human You tried and failed If you're worth it, prove it And I'd rather die before I see the wake of blood drown out all I hear 'Cause existing with purpose is the only fucking thing they fear Is it all about proving who you are To the people you think have a heart? I know that could never be achieved All the faceless deserters, They don't even know you're alive And I'd rather die before I see the wake of blood drown out all I hear 'Cause existing with purpose is the only fucking thing they fear You won't survive me
