Keep on writing you're just raping yourself
(Nothing can take my mind away) from them
Don't you ask about me, ask about somebody else
(Once I've fallen there's many stories to tell)
I can feel it, won't embrace it, its overwhelming how far ya take it
(Stuck in a state of questioning)
And don't you tell me you know we're destined, you won't convince me, I won't listen
(Resentment building, you've put our lives on hold)

Trashed and scattered again, I'm feelin' so low
You waste your breath while fuckin' with me, my blood is so cold
My destination always is known, I'll find my way there
But Goddamn Motherfuckers always wasting my time.

I won't be the victim, but the first to cast a stone
Sedated nights to the bar room fights as metropolis takes its toll
And don't you try to stop me, it's a place you'll never know
Don't try to judge or take shots at me, I'll never let you seize control
Play your game and walk away, your integrity don't mean a shit
Crawl on me you fucking parasite, and I'm gonna take you out

Label me, that's fine, I'll be somebody else
(Nothing in front of me but holes ahead)
Lie about my life, have a story to tell
(Lights went down, was on the edge and I fell)
Oh you're so insightful, let me remind you to twist and break me
Should make you worried
(Long way to go and you're right there)
Two-faced liar, don't try and know me, deceit brings fire, makes you can't breath
(pick at pieces of my body below)

I never bothere with all the rumors, too much garbage (all the same)
(I know my destination)
I'll stand right here, come on you falsehood deceitful liar
(There's no shame)
Don't ever take my side, I know you're never right
I'll justify the means (nothing's what it seems)
I'll stand around and fight, but there's no point tonight, been chained to this machine

Trashed and scattered again, I'm feelin' so low
You waste your breath while fuckin' with me, my blood is so cold
My destination always unknown, I'll find my way there
But Goddamn impostor are you out of your mind

I walk down these roads alone and now you're seen here
My feelings that I'm having towards you are perfectly clear (I control this ride)
My devil's appetite is tonight and now I'm alright
But you Goddamn Motherfuckers always wasting my time
Play your game you better walk away cause your integrity don't mean a shit
Crawl on me you fucking parasite, and I'm gonna take you out

I won't be the victim, but the first to cast a stone
Sedated nights to the bar room fights as metropolis takes its toll
And don't you try to stop me, it's a place you'll never know
Don't try to judge or take shots at me, I'll never let you seize control

Don't try and get the best of me (no one can help but your own self)
City makes my body ache (lonely, don't try and prey on me)
I feel your world dying, no more use in tryin'
And my body's trashed and low, but you I'll never show myself or what's inside
And you've seen it all before but I'll settle the score, I'll never join your side.

    General Comment:This song is about the media screwing up their lives. They make up stories and stupid stuff about them, hence "Lie about my life // Have a story to tell" I think that that quote is the most powerful one in this whole song, as it pretty much explains the whole plot. The media makes up lies, and if they had the chance, they would tell the truth.

    Crawl on me you fucking parasite, and I'm gonna take you out"

    and "My destination's always unknown" are two corrections that need to be made. Also you're missing part at the end, he says about three more lines after "and my body's trashed and low..."

    General Comment:Like everyones been saying, this is definatly about the media and all the people who've said shit about the band. Espeacally the change in their music from Sounding to Waking to City, and how people had/have been calling them sell outs for not screaming as much. Theyre basically saying "we're gonna carry on doing what WE want to do, not what YOU want us to. We won't listen to you coz this is for us."

    talflor- I don't know where you got the "not" from

    also, the lyrics are missing the last line "And you've seen it all before, and that makes me hate you more, i'll never join you side"

    (p.s. anyone else noticed the typo in the lyric booklet?? "It's overwhelming ho far ya take it" just thought I'd point it out)

    General Comment:this song perfectly fits the meaning of someone that is being bullied and in effect will leave a scar on his life of low self esteem and anger 4 letting his chances of sticking up for himself away....
