Song lyrics

[Verse 1:]
I wept when I realized
There were no more demons left to conquer,
An opportunity to show my feelings
With skin so thick you swear it was armor,
A penitentiary that only lets the oxygen out,
I wasn't ready for a version of the truth to get out,
I'm getting desperate, I wouldn't wanna fester in another bad dream.
I am a man of extremes, I found the flesh and I'm liking it,
I'll put an end to all the fucking psychobabble,
We eat the meat 'cause the meat had a soul,
We take the lives 'cause to hurt makes us whole.

[Chorus:]
I am not the same,
You never had a clue or knew my name,
You wanna know the story? Take my pain,
I am ready, the lie is heard!
I am not the same,
You never had intent to keep my blame,
You really wanna know who the fuck I am?
I am the orphan,
The one who killed your world!

[Verse 2:]
Keeping up appearances with acts of attrition,
It doesn't matter 'cause I know you'll never listen, before
You knew it when you saw it, now you say you never knew it,
It was all a big conspiracy,
We came together when the hands of fate let go,
Is there anybody left to fill this hole?
This shit will never wash off,
Give yourself a medal, I swear, I fucking give up.
We're nothing special, just an accidental tweak of the freak,
An evolution of the kennel in the fetish you seek,
There's still a part of me that's dying in a dumpster,
The one who rose is a motherfucking monster.
I've seen the future and it's simply burning!
I wasn't put here to be so discerning!
You want the world to be dissatisfied!
You don't care, so why the fuck should I?
Fuck, should I sell myself to stay alive?

[Chorus:]
I am not the same,
You never had a clue or knew my name,
You wanna know the story? Take my pain,
I am ready, the lie is heard!
I am not the same,
You never had intent to keep my blame,
You really wanna know who the fuck I am?
I am the orphan,
The one who kills,
The one who killed your world!

[Bridge:]
Everyone has something,
Someone here has everything.
Everyone has something,
Someone here has everything.
Everyone has something,
Someone here has everything.
Everyone has something,
Someone here has everything.
Everyone has something,
Someone here has everything.
Everyone has something,
Someone here has everything.

[Verse 3:]
Tell me all about it, I love to hear it,
The way I ruin everything I touch,
I never thought I'd get to say I'm sorry,
But then again I think you ask too much.
Too white to be black, too black to be blue,
Too sick to be me, too fucked to be you,
I only wonder if I'll live to see the end of the road,
It always gets me nowhere.

[Chorus:]
I am not the same,
You never had a clue or knew my name,
You wanna know the story? Take my pain,
I am ready, the lie is heard!
I am not the same,
You never had intent to keep my blame,
You really wanna know who the fuck I am?
I am the orphan,
The one who killed your world!

[Outro:]
Everyone has something,
Someone here has everything.
I am the orphan,
The one who kills!
Everyone has something,
Someone here has everything.
I am the orphan,
The one who kills!
Yeah!
