an image of humanity twisted and broken down

my pity quickly turns to hatred

as i watch them fall to their knees

controlled by a crutch

you're broken - you're broken down

i've seen you rise - i've seen you fall

won't show remorse - it was your call

but still i can't deny, i can't deny it hurts

i remember how much it meant

i remember just what you said

there's no excuse for your abuse

there's no rhyme for the line you feed us

about growing up, can't hide this pride inside

as i watch them slowly die

your skin is tainted by your promises broken

how can you live with yourself

how can they live with themselves

how can you live with yourself

how can they live with themselves

your theories of moderation

a plan destined to fail

now hateful words and insulting stares

are used to justify their corruption
