My throat falls numb from the
Endless execution of contempt`s song
It fails to follow suit in silence even now
I can hear every word, leave this place

If only you could just be half as hateful
If only I could still take you with a grain of salt
I could fake some respect and hide the pity
For what I once feared is now somehow down on my level

I never claimed to see through another`s eyes
I could never inflict such abuse upon myself honestly
Honest in a sense that I`m willing
But such intensity is dulled with age

Leaving me some spoiled child
I`ll take it in stride, with every cheep shot landed
I took it without crying, now shut the f**k up

I`ve always sang the cowards song
I`ve never claimed to be, anything but
Like father like son, we`ll find an easy way
I`ll fly so high to no longer hear the hisses
Of hatred ringing in my head

Selfishly sober in spite of you
I`ll never be the man to which you compare me
Selfishly sober in spite of them
You boast, I`m dead to you and I in turn agree

I turned a deaf ear on you, I knew the rest
Sob stories were never my strong suit
Now just as threatening as I`ll let you be
I keep a short rope and a shorter fuse

For the one who love`s who?
I won`t leave this place
So boast I`m dead to you with dying breath
I can`t hear a thing, I never could

F**k your apologies
I`ve tolerated your last death threat
I don`t condone the likes of anyone so keep your word
And consider me dead to you
