Scapegoat - Chimaira

Burning inside

Slumped over

Living a lie

I reach for the whip to tame the beast

Your eyes judge what they do not know

Don’t look at me that way

The words you use behind closed doors make their way down the hall

I hear it all

I’m not your scapegoat

I’m not your fucking scapegoat

Why’s it so hard to see the truth

How much more do I have to prove?

I’m not your scapegoat

What am I supposed to do

When nothing I say, not matter how true

Will make the actions of yesterday

Easier for you

Why can’t you get over it?

Why can’t you move on?

Where were you?

The reflection that you see

Does it haunt you daily?

I shouldn’t live in that shame

I’m not the one to blame

I’m not your scapegoat

I’m not your fucking scapegoat

Why’s it so hard to see the truth

How much more do I have to prove?

I’m not your scapegoat

I’m not the one to blame

There is a little of me inside all of you
