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
