AP Revisionist History

And scene, co-direct my life for me

Rewrite everything you don't believe

Throw out all the lore and history

They just get in the way of the world you portray

My life in your character design

No nuance or moral comprise

All evil on earth personified

You're the light, I'm the shade, there's no room for the gray

So you throw me out to sea

Tie me down with extra weight

And in case you see me breathe

You can burn me at the stake

'Cause you left me drowning

I'm sinking deeper by the day

I'm fucking drowning in things I cannot change

Left adrift, to the undertow I'm bound

When I come up for air, you push me down

All the way to the seafloor ground

Where I lay in the sand, in the grasp of your hand

Write it off like you do for everything

An accident that you couldn't see coming

Another verse in the requiem you sing

Out of time, out of tune, out of breath, out of key

So what are you waiting for?

Choke me to death, watch as I suffocate

Finish me off, clean up this mess you made

Throw me away, bury me under this weight

You're the light, I'm the shade, there's no room for the gray

So you throw me out to sea

Tie me down with extra weight

And in case you see me breathe

You can burn me at the stake

You left me drowning

I'm sinking deeper by the day

I'm fucking drowning in things I cannot change
