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.
