Black, dirty teeth, in the crease
Was the proof too, good to be believed?
It's the cunt, with the tongue
Who belongs on broken knees?
So far, it occurs to me
That everybody in the world is afraid of me
Just one more sin and down we go
But the news is out
And I think I'm going to
Kill myself
Or fuck myself
Or tell myself
About the only thing that matters now
We bury what we fear the most
Approaching original violence
Is the silence where you hide it?
'Cause I don't recognize you anymore
To each his own
Life can do with one less watered-down excuse
If this is over, you can tell me it's no use
Use, just tell me it's over
Today, we will deceive
Our better selves
Into assimilating pain from something else
Put on your face
And show me why
Behind the scenes we had to simply comply
Now, the community
Doesn't feel any better than it used to be
I want to be a judge in a criminal case
You covered up did you cultivate?
Be yourself
Not yourself
Know yourself
'Cause no one seems to know you now
We carry what we can't control
Approaching original violence
In the silence, there's a nihilist
Who doesn't care and never did
To each his own
Life can do with one less watered-down excuse
There comes a time where we can't take the same abuse
If this is over, you can tell me it's no use… Use
Drug out, pissed on, everything's the same
Bitch and moan, it doesn't matter, nothing's going to change
I don't want to watch another brother fucking die
So discarded, fallen by the side
Don’t tell me it's the only way
Just another reason why you never take the bait
The trials, the scheming, the burden of the beast
Both your faces turn your back on everything you
Fought to save a dream
Now that it's over when this is over
We are the angels fear to tread
Approaching original violence
We're the silence
We'll deny it
We can't continue on like this
To each his own
Life can do with one less watered-down excuse
There comes a time where we can't take the same abuse
My God, it would've taken just one word to stay from you
Now that this is over, you can tell me it's no use
Now that this is over, you can tell me it's no use
Use, just tell me it's over
It doesn't matter what you say
It doesn't matter what you do
We can't continue on like this
