My brother tells me that I'm the one blessed
My brother tells me that I must confess
My brother tells me that I cause the stress 
If he tells me again, I might make a mess
God accepts the offering that my brother brings
God wants to make my brother a king
God sees my brother as an angel with wings
Let's see what happens when I bring in the strings

There's only so much to do when I hate myself
There's only so much to do no matter how heartfelt 
We're in two different fields, but we both excel
My brother doesn't understand, well then farewell
My brother's all alone out in the field
I approach him with the rock I wield 
I wish it wasn't like this, but his fate is sealed 
I tried to show my light, now my dark's revealed 
All my insecurities turn to rage
All the anger I built up is now out the cage 
I gave you my all, yet you turned away 
Memories from my youth now fade away
My brother's head now bleeds out on the grass 
My brother's time and days have come to pass 
The rock falls to earth and I to my knees collapse
Perhaps this sacrifice is enough to make God laugh 

Where is your brother Abel?
Am I my brother's keeper? 
What have you done?

You will be a restless wanderer on this earth 

I'm tryna show you that I am quite the pessimist 
All Cain did was prove his worth within his own element 
The world will sit back and judge us propped up on its elegance
All because we're dark and different, I guess that is evident 
First, you'll be asked to change and create a new Genesis
Second, when you don't, they'll turn you into a new Exodus 
Say anything different and then they will blame your temperament 
I would talk about this, but I've been burned by therapists 

See the problem is, yeah, they don't like how we think
They want us out of black and dressed up all in pink 
We're out of the agenda, so I guess we're out of sync
The voices in my head, yeah, they push me to the brink 
A Titanic won't sink 
I stay away from drinks 
This addiction is a kink 
My addiction to the ink 
This flow I rethink 
You'll miss it if you blink 
Eventually distinct 
Never going extinct 

If you can't understand me
Don't try to reprimand me 
I'm sorry I am not the
But I'll never be the old me 

If you can't understand me
Don't try to reprimand me 
I'm sorry I am not the
But I'll never be the old me 

My brother lies dead with a rock through his head 
And I'm the one to blame 
But how come he sacrificed sheep 
And God let fire rain?
I grew what's mine off of that vine 
And I didn't get the same
But if I'm my bro's keeper, I suppose
His life is mine to claim 
But that's not true, so why do I speak?
What is the point? What do I seek?
I know the world sees me as a freak
Dark smile on my arm is proof enough that my insides want to shriek

I wear dark clothes and I think dark thoughts 
But it ain't my fault, I was made like this
People always say to look to the light 
But when I look there, all I see is the abyss 
Break bread with those that feel the same 
'Cause the hardest thing to do is admit 
I don't talk like this to sympathize 
I talk like this 'cause I, too, am pissed 

If you can't understand me
Don't try to reprimand me 
I'm sorry I am not the
But I'll never be the old me 

If you can't understand me 
Don't try to reprimand me 
I'm sorry I am not the 
But I'll never be the old me

How you gonna ask us to be just like you?
You preach peace, but we the dummies you cut into 
Boil our blood and try to cleanse us of our tattoos 
Then you sit back and wonder why it is we withdrew

I take a bath, try to cleanse my thoughts
But I cannot, because I am insane
Still on the fence about what to do
But the fence has shrunk down to a membrane 
Poppin' pain killers everyday 
Tryna psychologically ease my pain 
Annabelle dolls all across my room 
I guess I should call Ed and Lorraine 

I am not the only one in these places
I am not the only one seeing these faces 
I am not the only one drawing no aces 
I am not the only one who needs their own spaces
I am not the only one who feels so forgotten 
I am not the only one considering a coffin 
I am not the only one who seems to have fallen 
I am not the only one whose roses need to blossom
