Stay
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
These days of
rage have left
their stain on me.
I've pummeled
this world to dust
I've broken these
men of blood
Now I wake naked,
in the debris
But I'm sick of
fighting, sick of
trying
everything
mounting up sky
high and I must
thus
TRUST NO ONE
STAY FROZEN
My moment is
here
The enemy's
drawing near so
STAY AWAY
STAY AWAY
STAY!
STAY AWAY
STAY AWAY
STAY!
STAY AWAY
STAY AWAY
STAY AWAY
BREAK
These chains that
bury me.
Enemy. Bury me.
Stay the fuck
away, stay the
fuck away.
It comes down
to this
Your face, my fist
It comes down to
my life or yours,
my life or yours.
All I'll ever do is
hurt you.
stay no
go away
stay no
go away
stay no
go away
don't go
don't go
These days of
rage have left
their stain on me
I see, enemies everywhere
all the time
enemies everywhere
on all sides
Some are blind,
some are useless
Most have succumbed to divine
pollution
human sewage
hurt them first
shoot the
wounded
hope hurts
STAY AWAY
STAY AWAY
STAY!
STAY AWAY
STAY AWAY
STAY!
STAY AWAY
STAY AWAY
STAY AWAY
BREAK
These chains that
bury me.
Enemy. Bury me.
Stay the fuck
away, stay the
fuck away.
It comes down
to this
your face, my fist
It comes down to
my life or yours,
my life or yours.
All I'll ever do is
hurt you.
Alone in my own
mind
no maps, no roads
the world is full
of ghosts
It's my life or
yours
It's my life or
yours
All I'll ever do is
hurt you.
Abandoned
Stranded
Betrayed
With friends like
these, I need my enemies
Dissected
Neglected
Erased
With friends like
these, I need my
enemies
Abandoned
Stranded
Betrayed
With friends like
these, I need my enemies

With friends like
these,
I need my enemies
I need my enemies
I need my enemies
These days of

Your face, my fist

my life or yours,
my life or yours.
All I'll ever do is
hurt you.
