I have an appetite for my own destruction

Like a parasite bleeding itself dry

Caught in a losing fight with my hands tied

But I won’t compromise

'Cause I know that I am better than this

Yeah, I know that I am better than this

Wrap your rope around my head

I’ll untangle every thread

I will not be crucified

So you can hate me all you like

Can you take me somewhere better than the place I’ve been lately?

I’ve been dreaming of the chance of escaping

I’ll be clawing my way out if you make me

'Cause I know that I am better than this

Yeah, I know that I am better than this

I will not be crucified

So you can hate me all you like

Wrap your rope around my head

I’ll untangle every thread

I will not be crucified

So you can hate me all you like

I’ve spent so long hating myself

That it doesn’t hurt from someone else

I’ve spent so long hating myself

Light me up a cigarette

I wanna feel the smoke in my lungs

A temporary distraction

From all the things that I have done

That I have done

Wrap your rope around my head

I’ll untangle every thread

I will not be crucified

So you can hate me all you like

You can hate me all you like
