This life has nothing left for me

My fate has been determined
A wasted wraith along the path
Of rocks and wrath and rusted barbs
Ornate shards of masterpiece glass

I deny the world of man
And I refuse the helping hand
I do not need your charity
What makes you think
I give a shit
About your fucking feelings?

I was never there because you loved
Just a goddamn meal ticket
Nothing you can say can prove
I was anything more than that

You cut me with a thousand shards
Lacerating my veins
You said that this was the last time
There's nothing left to take

You'll be with me
Inside your locket
And that's where you'll stay
A face to me
That's full of hate
Proceed me to the grave

I do not accept your offering

A happy couple picture
That's underneath the shattered glass
Soaking up gas and fumes to feed
Hungry greed inflaming the past

I lay before your tombstone
And sing to you my last song
I see with crystal clarity
Infinite truth
Who gives a shit
About two lost fucking souls?

I hold onto you despite the rain
Pouring down on the thicket
Did I just feel the dirt move?
Should've packed you in tighter

So much hate
Boiling inside
Know that
Even from beneath
My prone form
I can still hear you cry

You cut me with a thousand shards
Lacerating my veins
You said that this was the last time
There's nothing left to take

You'll be with me
Inside your locket
And that's where you'll stay
A face to me
That's full of hate
Proceed me to the grave
