Fuck Knows (F.K.) - Downfall

there is a place in the deep dark abyss  
from its crushing depths  
there's no coming back  

a place reserved for you and me  
for betrayals and deceits  
your god has turned his back  
 
"you're out of place, you know you're going to meet your doom  
you will listen to me and there will be no talking back"  
This is how it begins, rules are set upon the rules  
that make up your life before the sharks attack  
 
misery became a part of me  
before the world was wrought by apathy  
livid illusions of endless disarray  
take it out of me  
take it all away  
 
tyranny enthroned and hailed  
it's an excuse called humanity  
makes me wish I was never born  
take it out of me  
take it and be gone  
 
religion turned all lies into truths  
the altruist pigs, became fucking rats  
the past remembers our insanity  
look around today, are we any better than that?  
 
hatred flowing through my veins  
fueled by the unchecked misanthropy  
livid illusions of manic disarray  
take it out of me  
take it all away  
 
Memories of a frantic dream  
reality distraught by lucidity  
I can't be the only one  
take it out of my head  
leave me alone  
 
the poisoned sky remembers  
the defiled earth remembers  
when the water turned to blood  
the bread to flesh  
 
standing in line with your white suits and shoes  
the angel charade of hearts darker than black  
there is no saviour out there for you  
you've already dug your grave so lay your head back  
 
Another chance is no good  
never could be  
never should  
we were born to kill ourselves  
so why try to change what cannot mend?  
 
your faith is misplaced  
tomorrow's war is just another day  
optimistic empathy will be  
the downfall of you not me  
 
no, we'll never change  
we'll never change  
we'll never change  
this is a dream.
