I've felt the hate rise up in me Kneel down and clear the stone of leaves I wander out where you can't see Inside my shell, I wait and bleed I've felt the hate rise up in me Kneel down and clear the stone of leaves I wander out where you can't see Inside my shell, I wait and bleed Goodbye I wipe it off on a tile, the light is brighter this time Everything is turning blasphemy My eyes are red and gold, the hair is standing straight up This is not the way I picture me I can't control my shakes, how the hell did I get here? Something about this, so very wrong I have to laugh out loud, I wish I didn't like this Is it a dream or a memory? I've felt the hate rise up in me Kneel down and clear the stone of leaves I wander out where you can't see Inside my shell, I wait and bleed Get outta my head 'cause I don't need this Why didn't I see this? Well, I'm a victim Manchurian candidate I have sinned by just makin' my mind up And takin' your breath away I've felt the hate rise up in me Kneel down and clear the stone of leaves I wander out where you can't see Inside my shell, I wait and bleed I've felt the hate rise up in me Kneel down and clear the stone of leaves I wander out where you can't see Inside my shell, I wait and bleed Goodbye You haven't learned a thing I haven't changed a thing The flesh was in my bones The pain was always free You haven't learned a thing I haven't changed a thing The flesh was in my bones The pain was always free I've felt the hate rise up in me Kneel down and clear the stone of leaves I wander out where you can't see Inside my shell I wait and bleed I've felt the hate rise up in me Kneel down and clear the stone of leaves I wander out where you can't see Inside my shell, I wait and bleed And it waits for you
