Nioj

Home is a hope 
And freewill a myth
Starting to remember
To turn down all your gifts
Tempting as your sterial-lies
Nothing that you say can change I've-

Died so many times 
I don't exist
Told you life and life again
It's not easy to resist

I'm someone else
I'm someone new
Someone stupid
Just like you

Happy are the hopeless
Ignorance is bliss
Though you have replaced my head
The throbbing never quits
Teach me to wish away pain
Give me something better and I'll never fall--

Again I see you pointing
At everybody else
What is this divine perception
That I have never felt

I'm someone else
I'm someone new
Someone stupid
Just like you

Nobody wants this sickness
Carriers go door to door
Tear off your skin and repent
Now I am the same, ignored

His
Damn
Consumes
His
Hand

I'm someone else
I'm someone new
Someone stupid
Just like you

I am no one
