If I could only fill the void
Open my eyes up and forget
If I could only have a choice
Eaten by pity and regret
If I had a way to numb
Cut myself off from the rest
If I had somewhere to hide
Then I wouldn't stay around you
I don't need your pity
Lord kill the pain
I see it now, a cast of extras
Staring me down with blank expressions
Just look away, I know it's too late
Disapproving eyes, isolation and hate
I don't want your prayers
If you just want me to change
Don't like myself either
Think I'd rather self pity
A painted youth slithered into the bathroom
Where is thine shelter?
Little did they know
Little did they show
The wages of sin is death
A curse upon my head
A plank in your eye
A shortness of breath
Apollo please release me
A season of weakness
Leave me to rest
Lest you continue your cruelty
Leave me to rest
I am the one they pity
A burning feeling, you just can't disguise
So won't you please rid me
Of these clothes that I so despise
I am the one they pity
Better off just by myself
Wallow in my self pity
I'm hoping you could never tell
Always make me feel filthy
Better off just by myself
Wallow in my self pity
I'm hoping you could never tell
Always make me feel filthy
I don't need your pity
I don't need your pity
