Stay This Way

your words like cyanide poisons my soul 
feels like my ears buried down your throat
and still my needle goes round and round
as you spread your faith 
like a preacher on meth

I am a self mutilating masochistic puppet
and I'm dancing to your flame
let me kill myself so 
we can keep your world the same

no matter what you say 
I'll always stay this way
no matter what your gods do 
I'll never give into

sow your seeds from your hole
into me as if something will grow
and still my soul in the lost and found
as you find your crown
king in the world of dumb

I am a self medicating delusional animal
and I'm pouncing to your whip
let me drown myself to 
keep afloat your make believe ship

no matter what you say 
I'll always stay this way
no matter what your gods do 
I'll never change into

as much as you try you cannot mold this clay
as much as you reap I'll always stay this way
