lyrics

All emotion is in retrograde, and we're buying the things that we don't believe in
Amalgamated of hate and obsession to succeed, and yet they sold you through vague descriptions
I feel cheated and worthless, so much more than before, my value's not monetary
If you knew of the monsters you'd become, do you think it would have made a difference to how you hate yourselves

All you wanted was see me break and fall into little parts
And I do it all for you
All you wanted was to reduce me into a million scars
And I'm never coming true

I'm introduced to the game after you've already won but we're American and free
A bruised admission of guilt and broke confessions are all that they've ever been asking from me
You took your seeds of the earth, to plant a fiery tree, that you knew wouldn't grow peace
Put your hand on your heart because you're guilty with sin, you better sell your self destruction while you're still worth something

All you wanted was see me break and fall into little parts
And I do it all for you
All you wanted was to reduce me into a million scars
And I'm never coming true

All you wanted was see me break and fall into little parts
And I do it all for you
All you wanted was to reduce me into a million scars
And I'm never coming true

And all you wanted was to see me break myself and just fall apart
And I do it all for you
The product that you hate is the same one that you were right from the start
And you never even knew
