 Become A Better Singer In Only 30 Days, With Easy Video Lessons!

We rely on subtle points 
And stabs at biting humor
To reveal our tired roles 
Of slave and domination

Who did you enlighten today 
Humiliate to sell your point of view
Create an image for mass consumption 
Insecurity as intellect

See your soul 
In your eyes 
Hope your trophies 
Will not mind

I'm sick of this grain of salt 
That I must take you with
I want to lash out but I bite my lip
The talk gets older and the lines get stale
Your chance at godliness has already failed

You can't deny 
Your thirst and drive 
For your time 
In the spotlight

Why 
Are you so damned sure that you shut your friends out
I have learned to shut out every hateful word

You'll never 
See the friends you've lost
From behind your transparent mask

I haven't grown to hate you 
I've just grown to forget you
You label me class rank and station 
Your intellectual masturbation
You're absolutely intoxicated 
By your own mouth running in circles
Your tongue always tends to lose it
Every chance you get you abuse it
You now have spent a lifetime 
Killing time

I'm sick and tired of your reaction
Why don't you shut the f*ck up

When you discover 
Just how easy 
It is to impress
Without demanding 
All the attention 
For no reason 
Maybe you'll believe me

Your own will to power has come back to haunt you
