Gnaw at the skin
Kick up the dirt
Salt in the wound
Embrace the hurt
I don't give a fuck
Drug through the mud
Earth in my teeth
Spit it out the blood
Embrace the strain
I don't give a fuck
Blistered feet walked miles
You'd never know
The lowest place I've sunk to
Was never where I wanted to go
Wrote your name with gore
From opened scars
You peeled back the scab
Still stuck in the tar
A feeling you can't resist
A scratch that must be itched
Blind to the truth
A reflection you can't stomach
Project hatred to the soul
You fucking love it
Another woke hypocrite to cast the first stone
Preaching tolerance with every breath
Don't you see the irony?
In all the chaos that you reap
Who deemed you the righteous one?
You'll beg for my forgiveness but the damage has been done
Open your mind before your mouth
You'll learn to heed your words before you spew them out
You've got a bad temper
& you're weathered
Always a sheep to the shepherd
Impulsive, obsessive
Mixed up in all the depression
Lack of empty
Lack of trust
A will to live left out to rust
It's all smoke & mirrors
You'll pull at the thread until there's nothing left
