MY PAIN, MY PRIDE

THESE SCARS ARE MINE

MY PAIN, MY PRIDE

THESE SCARS ARE MINE

I will tell you a story

That’s never been told

I will tell you a secret

5 lifetimes old …

My life has been a prison

A labyrinth built beneath the mountain of Tragedy

I’m a stain on the cloth

I’m just an after-thought

But i

Would die

For this …

But through the veins of decay

I’ll remain to betray

To live like Caesar

To die like Jesus

To build my own religion

No gods, no laws

To celebrate pain

Forsaken & ashamed

To watch them all

Crawl beneath us …

On this bed of nails & regret

Dying of fevers, betrayal, & sweat

I CRY …

My organs are rotting

My enemies are plotting …

I AM MADE OF PAGES

PARAGRAPHS & INSPIRATIONS

PAPER GIRL, BURN THE WORLD

I PASS THE FLAME TO YOU!

MURDER

MAYHEM

HURT HER

HATE HIM

MURDER

MAYHEM

HURT HER

HATE HIM

MURDER MAYHEM

HURT HER HATE HIM

MURDER

MAYHEM

FUCK HER

SLAY THEM!

My pain, my pride

These scars are mine

My pain …

MY MISERY HAS BEEN FORMULATED

INTO AN EQUATION OF NIEN

MY SANITY WROTE

A SUICIDE NOTE

BUT ONE OF US IS ILLITERATE

AND THE OTHER … IS BLIND

MY 1st ACT OF TREASON

WAS PICKING UP A PEN

MY 1st ACT OF LOVE

WAS FINDING MYSELF AGAIN

THE HARDEST THING TO DO

WAS STANDING UP TO YOU

NOW I’M OFF MY KNEES

NOW YOU’RE BEGGING ME «PLEASE»

I’M THE WOUND & THE WEAPON

THE FRACTURE & THE FIST

My organs are rotting

My enemies are plotting …

I AM MADE OF PAGES

PARAGRAPHS & INSPIRATIONS

PAPER GIRL, BURN THE WORLD

I PASS THE FLAME TO YOU!

MURDER

MAYHEM

HURT HER

HATE HIM

MURDER

MAYHEM

HURT HER

HATE HIM

MURDER MAYHEM

HURT HER HATE HIM

MURDER

MAYHEM

FUCK HER

SLAY THEM!

THAT STABBING IN YOUR HEART

THAT BLACK HOLE IN YOUR SOUL

SLOWLY RIPPING YOU APART … THAT’S ME!!!

THAT’S ME!!!

SO LET IT BE WRITTEN

SO LET IT BE DONE!

THE BRIGHTER THEY SHINE

THE DARKER WE BECOME!

VAE VICTUS!

ABOMINATION!
