Lyrics

I am a chorus of the voices
That gather up the magnets
Set before me
I attract you and repel you
A science of the heart
And blood and meaning
The coldness of most beauties
Is a challenge that our youth must quickly conquer
There is no time for guilt or second guessing
Second guessing based on feelings
I am the truth, the beauty
That causes you to cross your
Sacred boundaries
I have no morals
Some think me cheap
And someone who despises
The normalcy of heartbreak
The purity of love
But I worship the young and
Just formed angel
Who sits upon the pin of lust
Everything else
Bores me
I wanna see your suicide
I wanna see you give it up
Your life of reason
I want you on the floor
And in a coffin, your soul shaking
I want to have you doubting
Every meaning you've amassed
Like a fortune
All throw it away
For worship someone
Who actively despises you
For worship someone who actively despises you
I am the root
I am the progress
I'm the aggressor
I am the tablet
These ten stories
Worship
Worship
Pain and evil have their place sitting here beside me
I offer them to you as servants of the gold that you must give
Pain and evil have their place sitting here beside me
And I'll offer them
I offer them to you as servants of the gold, that you must give to me
I wanna see your suicide
I wanna see you give it up, give it up
Your, your life of reason
I wanna see you on the floor
And in a coffin, soul shaking
Soul shaking
I want to have you doubting
Every meaning you've amassed
Like a fortune
Like a fortune, throw it away
For worship of someone who actively despises you
Who actively despises you
I am the view
I am the table
I am the view
I am the table
I am all of this
I am the root
The progress
The aggressor
I am the table
I am the ten stories
I am the table
I am, I am, I am, I am
I am
