lyrics

They'd rather see you fail
Than have to deal with you
They'd rather see you burn
Than have to kneel with you

They'd rather not see you fly
They'll drag you down
They'd rather watch you bleed and cry
When they rape you on the ground

Nourishment of youth
From the mother's tap
Pacifies the truth
Then it leaves you flat

Substitutes in line
Spilling all their waste
Overdose in time
Choking at the taste

Bloodshot...Eyesight
Eyesore...Inside
Hate you...Loathe you
Beat you...Shove you

Throw me to the floor
You know I hate to bitch
Oppression of the poor
Caused by 15-minute itch

Brings you up a notch
To see me writhe in pain
Honesty's affliction is
To never see a gain

Bloodshot...Eyesight
Eyesore...Inside
Love you...Hold you
Crush you...Control you

My ribs puncture my skin
You're bloated with your sin
Oh won't you come and kneel with me
I am an equation left undone
Please pass the loaded gun
So you won't have to deal with me
(And I you)

Drawing blood from stones
Turning up the heat
Strip away my bones
Pennies for my meat

All your self-obsession
Creeping in your veins
I'm tired of you staring at me
Let me introduce you to my pain

Bloodshot...Eyesight
Eyesore...Inside
Hate you...Love you
Beat you...Shove you

Masses cold and sore
Waiting at your door
Oh won't you come and let me in
Apology unsaid
My heroes all are dead
Gods make me sick and make me sin

Still believe in you
Alive and black and blue
Trampled by one more casual lie
Cold, alone, I crack
The gods still lead the pack
You laugh at me and watch me die

Bloodshot...Eyesight
Eyesore...Inside
Hate you...Loathe you
Feed you...Cloathe you

Bloodshot...Eyesight
Eyesore...Insight
Hate you...Thrill you
Love you...Kill you
