Lyrics

[Intro] I hate purity. I hate goodness. I don't want virtue to exist anywhere. I want everyone corrupt [Verse 1] I am an architect They call me a butcher I am a pioneer They call me primitive I am purity They call me perverted Holding you, but I only miss these things when they leave [Pre-Chorus] I am idiot drug hive, the virgin, the tattered and the torn Life is for the cold made warm, and they are just lizards Self-disgust is self-obsession, honey, and I do as I please A morality obedient only to the cleansed repented [Chorus] I am stronger than Mensa Miller and Mailer, I spat out Plath and Pinter I am all the things that you regret A truth that washes that learnt how to spell [Verse 2] The first time you see yourself Naked, you cry Soft skin now acne Foul breath so broken He loves me truly This mute solitude I'm draining I know I believe in nothing but it is my nothing [Pre-Chorus] Sleep cannot hide thoughts splitting through my mind Shadows aren't clean, false mirrors, too many people awake If you stand up like a nail, then you will be knocked down I've been too honest with myself, I should have lied like everybody else [Chorus] I am stronger than Mensa Miller and Mailer, I spat out Plath and Pinter I am all the things that you regret A truth that washes that learnt how to spell, how to spell [Guitar Solo] [Outro] So damn easy to cave in, man kills everything So damn easy to cave in, man kills everything So damn easy to cave in, man kills everything So damn easy to cave in, man kills everything
