Lyrics
I'm not just anybody I'm so special And anybody should know I'm so far away I'm so far away I stalk the halls Like some lion to some antelope Then a hurried sound and.. another down Another coward screaming out for God himself like he's devout Lying f*ck, I'm God with this here gun And my wrath it reigns like fire from elysium The greatest anesthetic Is a hate for a people that have earned it in your head So it's alright I'll squeeze this trigger tight Until the pain that I inflict matches the pain within my mind Until the red combats the beige that paints the walls Or until the screams beat out the bird songs in volume Until their faces are all misplaced like some Picasso painting Guernica across the walls, or the sobbing maid And some will call me horror But the quiet, the abused and awkward They will call me martyr I see ghosts I see ghosts I saw my body lose its life and drop Saw the first cop to find me kick my body until the rest told him stop I saw the moms crying over the phone telling all Their friends that a demon took their daughter with a bullet Then I saw my name across the news Along with coffins too And articles about my brain in journals, psychological If the dream is fame, I made it And if it's infamy, than I'm a legend through the pain and if you think it's heinous Blame the news, blame the public loving blood And the news reporting murders just to get their ratings up Then couple that with being taught that success is the attention Of the media and public, and you'll have murderous intentions Then add isolation and intention becomes action And what was once just a thought, becomes a pistol in my hand I'm a product of my loneliness A product of my environment These streets are all the same, I went insane to prove I'm not like them To prove that I'm alive and that I'm someone not a hydrant Going dry from a city lacking lacking fire And why through hate? Because if life has taught me something It's that love brings you nothing but pain, betrayal, and f*ckin' I'm not just anybody I'm so special And anybody should know I'm so far away I'm so far away
