Scratch Me Soul Out Now! (Hurry It's Burning!)

They want me to fail
So they can laugh and mock me
They want me to cry in anguish every night 
Just so they can mock me

I walked aroun givin' my hand to people
And in return seek the day when a knife down
Deep past my spine into core
Burned with passion of "I'll never forget"
So this day I still wait for hell- fired tongues 
Plead for drops of water

They want me to hate how I was created
21 years turnin 22 I have scoured this earth
Only to gather dissapproval
I turned my head away from the storm
Yet the hurricane put me in the middle

He wants me to be angry with him...
God that is, he knows how I wished 
Many switching moons and gassed stars ago
How I hated the way he molded
Others demeanor to me 
Unwrapped turmoil, and buried me alon wit it

They want me to moan ...
OHHHHH!!!!!!!! God ! how I hurt so bad
Now even you I disappointed in stress
It's breakin down my soul
And I watched it dance away to the Devil's palm

They want me to hate me
But too late! I already do
