When I had climbed those steps
I slaughtered all resistance
A hole in my chest, so it seems you can't miss
I was bathed in flames from the head to the toe
Conquered the gods
And look, everybody noticed
Not a mortal man—no pain, no shame
A cutthroat bitch with no cross to bear
Who would have thought, huh?
I don't know, I don't think about that
I'm too busy cleaning up the
Nonsense, nonsense, nonsense!
Feral instinct soon devoured logical thinking
Who's to blame?
It's always someone else's fault
That's enough said
I've spent too much time complying
That's not purpose
And hoping does not make a wish come true
O' I'd broke my back trying to carry gravity
Its whip, it cracked and hissed
So my conscience went on screaming
"We all share the same blood
We are one
Lift us up"
Calm, calm, calm was the beast inside that suit
But the fangs still sank deep
Ensuring irreversible
A taste of the grim, growing state that I live to create
I generated a new coyote fate
Was scraped on a floor of greed until I bled straight hate
Yo, I mastered being fake
You irritate me with that
Taunting, taunting, taunting!
Hush your mouth
One day you'll feel how I felt
Nothing—void of pain
It's almost like a talent
I'd been worthless
I'd been thinking it was time for change
Gave me purpose
Gave it up 'cause hoping never has its way
I broke my back trying to carry gravity
Its whip, it cracked and hissed
So my conscience went on screaming
"We all share the same blood
We are one
Lift us up"
♪
Sometimes I scream for nothing
Forgive me for that sin
I couldn't cry that day
I can't help it
Gods don't have a weakness
Here's my place—right atop the great stone
Now I don't look people in the eyes
For deep down
I know all I'll see is me—is me
O' I'd put my faith into a crown
And I blamed you for that wanting
We don't leave things well enough alone
We don't seem to see things clearly
And I told myself that it was okay to run and hide from evil
But who was I to judge the hearts of men?
I'm just as bad as them!
This is shame
And that's no clever trick
'Cause everybody wants to dance with a champion
The first of all rats to claim that pit!
I'd brought the gods down!
And in their craters, I grew grand
I became pure
