You are the one that makes me numb
You are just above everyone
You are the one who starts the wars
You are machine and nothing more
I am the one, I resist your head
I'm now immune to all your threats
I am the one without the gun
I'm not the one, you've always won
I'm not the one who's failing you
I'm not the one, nothing to lose
I'm not the one succumbed to fire
I'm not the one made up of wires
As if I needed any proof, You're a growing disease
I know that I'm nothing new, I just hope I'm something
You are the ones rejecting blame
You are the ones you're all the same
You are the one who's dead inside
You've been sold out, monopolized
You are the suit, superior
You're what you wished you never were
You've become all you're enemies
Pay-grade's worth more than identity
I am the hate you feel inside
I am your past realized to life
I'm pain, resentment, hate, and scorn
I'm not the money or the whore
I'm not the one who's failing you
I'm not the one, nothing to lose
I'm not the one succumbed to fire
I'm not the one made up of wires
There's nothing of worth left in you, just subhuman virus
What ever happened to you, you just gave up trying
As if I needed any proof, You're a growing disease
I know that I'm nothing new, I just hope I'm something
You don't feel the things you once felt
Live on the corporate carousel
You pawn yourself right to the top
You loved the ones that you now rob
You'll go right up like Icarus
You'll fall and squirm in your own shit
You survive on subordinance
You feed on everyone's descent
I am the one who's still right here
I am the one seceded from fear
I'll be all the things that you fought
I'll be the one buried by god
I'm not the one who's failing you
I'm not the one, nothing to lose
I'm not the one succumbed to fire
I'm not the one made up of wires
There's nothing of worth left in you, just a subhuman virus
What ever happened to you, you just gave up trying
As if I needed any proof, You're a growing disease
I know that I'm nothing new, I just hope I'm something
