Song lyrics

Today, up on this hill, I'm counting all the killers.
They sway as they swarm,
A look of gluttons in their eyes...
They mutter as the body loses warmth,
They pick your bones like locks inside a tomb,
And take great care to not take care of you!

Here's an unexplainable one!
Here's an unexplainable one!

While I was learning to live, we all were living a lie.
I guess you got what you wanted...
So I will settle for a slaughterhouse soaked in blood and betrayal.
It's always somebody else, somebody else was me.
You want the real smile?
Or the one I used to practice not to feel like a failure?

[Chorus:]
I don't need you to do it for me,
I don't need you to understand,
I don't need you to hide it from me.
I just wanna feel like any other man!

I won't show you the whole story,
I won't show you the aftermath,
I won't show you my allegory.
Don't look away, here's an unexplainable one!

Here's an unexplainable one!
Here's an unexplainable one!

I'm not ahead of my time, I just drew the first breath,
If I'm alive tomorrow...
I will alleviate the pressure by cutting you out of me.
I found my bottom line dead on the front lines.
I know I'll never go home...
So set fire to your ships and past regrets and be free!

[Chorus:]
I don't need you to do it for me,
I don't need you to understand,
I don't need you to hide it from me.
I just wanna feel like any other man!

I won't show you my whole story,
I won't show you the aftermath,
I won't show you my allegory.
Don't look away, here's an unexplainable one!

What have you done?
What have you done?

Oh, while I was learning to live, you taught me how to die.
I guess I got what I wanted...
Another needle in the back through purified scarification.
It wasn't somebody else, you fucking did it to me.
You want a real smile?
I haven't smiled in years!
