Can you feel I'm not like you anymore I can't see, I can't breathe See you quiver like the dogs on the streets Looking down on as I beat you It's bad religion, from a broken nation It's a contradiction And I can't take it anymore Who's to say I won't like you anyway Take a deep breath, I'm alive Can you feel me, I'm alive inside of you Agony creeps up behind you It's a bad religion, from a broken nation It's a contradiction And I can't take it any fucking way! Can you feel it? I gotta live with it everyday I can't take the pressure, I'm going insane Now go away!
