see this planet, through the damage, of my two eyes
wonder who ran it, on the plan that it currently rides
was it man or machines? who killed the wise?
who ignored her cries? why'd you sit and watch her die?
-
me? i'm just a starving artist, doin my best, to sell my soul out
all covered in flaws, all hidden in doubt
all cursed by the law, can't find a way out
devil's got me in his claws, gotta find another route
-
i'm the blood of the innocent, on a soldier's boot
i'm the one to begin again, i'ma pull up these roots
i'ma run till the winter's end, then spring back new
i'ma fall till i'm buried in, six feet of tomb
-
i'ma kill all the undead, with my chainsaw flow
i'ma pain the town red, when the starlight shows
i'ma take it to the head, let it rattle in your bones
like bullets in your bed, i'm the cold in your toes, whoa
-
i am not who you think i am, i am gone, to the brink of this damn
universe, and i'm sure i'm not the first, but the pain still hurts
and i think its getting worse, i just wanna be sure, i can break this curse, i just wanna be sure, that i don't make it worse
-
gonna dig into the dirt, gonna bury all the hurt
so it don't get worse, gonna break this curse
Sunburst, bring it back to the first, cuz the world's gonna turn
and its all gonna burn, don't wait on the word, don't hate on the bird
-
just because he's free, don't mean he can't see
inside your cage, i can feel his rage
cuz he's gonna find a way, to get a key someday
make a ladder of mistakes that shakes ablaze, till he shapes his fate
in his own way
