Be ruthless in your life
No one's gonna hold your hand at night
Don't be kind to them all
No one's gonna teach you till the end of your life"
So I wrote it on my mirror in a red wine smear
Sharp little sermon in my bathroom light
Used to fold like paper when the wolves drew near
Now I just hum to the teeth that bite
Everyone preaching with their porcelain smiles
"Play nice, play nice, you'll be fine"
But I watched the gentle get chewed up in piles
Left on the curb with the Tuesday trash line
Be ruthless, oooohhhh that's what they say
Be ruthless, aaahhhhh why would they say that?
Be ruthless, oooohhhh I don't understand
Is this survival or is this the end of who I am?
There are times when the kind ones are treated wrong
Used up, rung out, then they're tossed away
They walk around like a half-finished song
Hoping someone might still wanna press "play"
Most people don't get it, they swear life is fair
Like karma's on salary and always on time
They believe if they play nice they'll get somewhere
While sharks write scripture in other men's lives
They say, "Good hearts always win in the end"
But the end's not printed on any receipt
I've seen saints go broke while the liars ascend
And learn to dance on the necks at their feet
Be ruthless, oooohhhh That's what they say
Be ruthless, aaahhhhh why would they say that?
Be ruthless, oooohhhh I don't understand
If I kill my softness, do I still get to call me a man?
Humming in the hallway with the lights turned low
Got an angel in my left ear, a razor in my coat
"Don't let 'em drain you dry," whispers one soft ghost
"Don't turn into them," says the other one, close
Maybe ruthless just means drawing crooked lines
Saying "no" before they drink you like cheap red wine
Maybe teeth don't always have to taste like blood
Maybe armor doesn't always have to be a flood of mud
But I've seen the kind ones laid out like dolls
Eyes wide open on the charity walls
And I've seen the monsters get medals and checks
While they're starving in a well of debts
And I've seen the soft ones get beaten to death
Over differences between themselves
And I've seen the cheaters abuse their lifes
For losing their lust over their own wives
So what do you carve on your own thin neck?
Oooohhhh–ooooohhhh low, uneasy humming
Aaaahhhhh–aaaahhhhh like a siren in a church choir
Oooohhhh–ooooohhhh rising, breaking, wired
Most people would, but most people won't
Not every scenario sings the same note
You think being a good person is enough to float
But some ships sink with love in every board they wrote
So I sharpened my boundaries, not my blade
Stopped bleeding out in everybody's shade
If I say "no," is that a sin or a prayer?
Is mercy still mercy if it's never shared?
They hand you a halo, then laugh while it burns
"Be nice, be small, one day it'll turn"
But the wheel spins crooked and the house always learns
How to rig every lesson you never earned
Be ruthless, oooohhhh that's what they say
Be ruthless, aaahhhhh why would they say that?
Be ruthless, oooohhhh I don't understand
Is it self-defense or just becoming what I can't stand?
No one's gonna hold your hand at night
So I hold my own through the static and spite
No one's gonna teach you till the end of your life
So I learn to be sharp without loving the knife
Be ruthless, oooohhhh that's what they say
Be ruthless, aaahhhhh but I still pray
Be ruthless, oooohhhh I don't understand
I'll guard my heart like a wolf
But I won't forget I'm human in the end
