Pride Tastes So Bittersweet

You believe nothing is real Always looking for power to steal But you’re looking at truth in the eye Knowing you deserve to die It took my whole world to fall Before I could learn to stand tall I had to leave my whole life behind Before I could make you mine You’ve always been stuck in your ways Clinging on them till the end of your days Holding on to them with your life Hoping you're strong enough to fight When the truth conflicts with what you believe You do everything you possibly can to deceive How the hell could they say you’re wrong This question keeps you up all night long It took my whole world to fall Before I could learn to stand tall I had to leave my whole life behind Before I could make you mine Hate is deep within your skin Trying to mask up every sin Inside you’re burning with fire Because you know you’re the liar Truth is knocking on the door But you’re screaming for war You’re fighting to play this game While hell is screaming your name It took my whole world to fall Before I could learn to stand tall I had to leave my whole life behind Before I could make you mine Why do you still hold on to hate What will it take to bring you to faith You cling to your crown While hell is dragging you down You believe nothing is real Always looking for power to steal But you’re looking at truth in the eye Knowing you deserve to die
