[Intro]

..no..

find the defect
the reason,
the source of all this misery
— and extract it … forever.

what heals me – kills me!

[verse]

i’m a natural assassin
a massacre in action

i’ve never known remorse
or felt any compassion

this is my drug of choice
the reason demons rejoice

my rage remains
a beast untamed

… i bet you’ll remember me now.
glutton!

i am heartbreak & depression
regret without redemption

a wounded animal
afraid of my reflection

i am an epidemic
this is a crime of passion

the willing weak deserve defeat
the penance will be savage!

… i bet you’ll remember me now.
… i bet you’ll remember me now.

[bridge]

bi-polar
self-abortion
mind fuck
can’t escape
these chains
of shame
i’m stuck!!

swollen in the mud
barely standing still
hungry for the hunt
& the thrill of the kill!!

c o m e o n ! !

i’ve always been a shadow
content with my disease
– you’ll never see it coming
cuz you never notice me
… unload!!

words are the remedy
words are the remedy

what heals me, kills me.
what heals me, kills me.

heal me, kill me
heal me, kill me

the plague rages on.

[outro]

i’ve built myself out of ash & agony, i am ready ….
i … am … i

i am my
own creation

i am
self-made

i am my
own creation

i am
self-made

destroyers!
i am i!

a bone heals,
a bruise fades,
but art is forever
