Song lyrics

[Verse 1:]
Fire and caffeine, a lot of nicotine,
I'm on a burn, so I better tell you everything.
The competition, the superstition,
Nevermind ‘cause you're never gonna give in
If acquired and that's how you like it.
The same trouble in a different disguise,
Bound to walk with a target on my back,
At least I'm ready for another attack.

[Chorus:]
The Lord of lies,
The morning star,
You had to be set free.
Opposing sides,
Your choices are
The negative one and me.

[Verse 2:]
Circle and wail with the enemies,
I never follow but I never make apologies,
Your divisions are gonna get ya
Because you won't disappoint each other.
Center for the cynical, you're so political,
You're getting ready ‘cause the first move is critical,
Reciprocity, somebody's listening,
Until we learn from our lies, we can never die.

[Chorus:]
The Lord of lies,
The morning star,
You had to be set free.
Opposing sides,
Your choices are
The negative one and me.

I hope you live
To see the day
When your world comes up in flames,
And as you die,
You see my face,
You're the only one to blame.
Fuck!

[Bridge:]
The prescient, the nascent,
The quotient, they all will fall.
The cystic, symbolic condition, systemic,
Egregious replete with
These lesions. Contaminate,
Succumb to the selfish,
Creation, your failure.

[Verse 3:]
Know I got ability, divisibility,
I point a finger but it's always looking back at me,
The centerpiece pulling on the mechanism
Unearthing skies of the cataclysm.
When the innocent begin to circumvent,
The color fades, but the picture is vibrant,
What do you believe doesn't matter now,
Turn away, the killer is that of now.

[Chorus:]
The Lord of lies,
The morning star,
You had to be set free.
Opposing sides,
Your choices are
The negative one and me.

I hope you live
To see the day
When your world comes up in flames,
And as you die,
You see my face,
You're the only one to blame.
Fuck!

[Chorus:]
The Lord of lies,
The morning star,
You had to be set free.
Opposing sides,
Your choices are
The negative one and me.

The negative one,
The negative one,
The negative one,
The negative one and me,
The negative one and me,
The negative one and me,
And me.
