The Failure


Stand up and preach to me and tell me who I am
What I was born into and live by the hand
That lashes out for compliance and submission
To form me, to mold me in your division
Forge me into a broken puppet of a man
That will hold your place in burning sands

But I just want to say
That I just need to hate
I just want to fail you
Yes, fuck you
And I just want to say
That I just need to hate
I just want to fail you
The failure

Faking me through life that you dreamed up for me
A life of servitude on my bleeding knees
I will rise above with my found defiance
And fight from the darkness of the tyrants
I will shake with my right hand and clench with my left
As I fight desperately for my next breath

And I just want to say
That I just need to hate
I just want to fail you
Yes, fuck you
Then I just want to say
That I just need to hate
I just want to fail you
The failure

Tattoo your laws
In my flesh
I will rip my
Tattered skin
Brand your name
On my soul
I will sell it
Away

What is family but yet another brand
To lower you or to ascend?
Born into a world of tyrants decaying
Forcing the laws on you with their baying
Drug me with blue pills to show me what is real
No lies you tell will change the way I feel

And I just want to say
That I just need to hate
I just want to fail you
Yes, fuck you
Then I just want to say
That I just need to hate
I just want to fail you
The failure
