Lyrics
I'm in conniptions for the final act you came here for
The one derivative you manage is the one I abhor
I need a minute to eliminate from everyone
The everyday bull*** lies that you have told
Your impossible ego *** 
Is like a megalomaniacal tab on my tongue
You ***in' touch me I will rip you apart
I'll reach in and take a bite out of that *** you call a heart

I don't mind being ogled, ridiculed, made to feel miniscule
If you consider the source it's kinda pitiful
The only thing you really know about me is
Thats all you'll ever know

I know why you blame me
I know why you blame yourself
I know why you plague me
I know why you plague yourself

I'm turning it around like a knife in the shell
I wanna understand why but I'm hurting myself
I can't see a reason to stop it I can't just drop it
I'm just a bastard but at least I admit it, at least I admit it

I know why you blame me
I know why you blame yourself
I know why you plague me
I know why you plague yourself

Kill you - *** you - I will never be you - Yeah!
Kill you - *** you - I will never be you - Yeah!
I can't ***in' take this anymore
A snap at the synapse and now it's ***in' war
Kill you - *** you - I will never be you - Yeah!

I know why you blame me
I know why you blame yourself
I know why you plague me
I know why you plague yourself
