They told me to try when everything I've known is a lie
To forgive, forget and let die
Pain is a matter of the mind
When will my agony subside

They told me to try when everything I've known is a lie
To forgive, forget and let die
Pain is a matter of the mind

You are cancer, I'm a cynic with every laceration
I know you fucking meant it, bitch!

I can't escape you, I'm coming apart at the seams
My heads unraveling but your conscious is clean
You don't know what you mean to me
Can't you see what this does to me
If I could speak my screams would be deafening

I bite my tongue
My minds the tree and these thoughts are my branches
Psychologically lynching myself day in and day out
Day in and day out!

Am I pathetic?
Am I pathetic?!

Keep my head held high
When all love began to subside
That's when they told me kid, you better hang 'em high

Hang 'em high, hang 'em high
Hang me high, hang me high
Hang me high, leave me to die
Hang me high, leave me to die
Hang me high, leave me to die

I'll keep my head held high
I'll keep my hopes held high
That's when they told me kid you better, hang 'em high
They say God has a plan
Well let me tell you kid it's a lie!
