Lyrics

I'm the shallow, the superficial
I'm the common man
Faithless, narrow minded, indifferent, impassive
A sycophantic leech
Tantamount to disintegrity
I'm the vulture feeding on malignancy

I'm the sin
The lecherous sneering at prostration
I wallow in disease
I rejoice at degradation
I yawn at misery
Spit at others happiness
An advocate of manipulation
I embrace the sickening

I'm the lost
I'm average
I'm common
I'm infection
I'm human
I'm common
A worm thriving in seas of disgust
I'm common
The mouth licking what you've bled
I'm common

I'm the pampered degenerate
I indulge my inclinations
The only words to my attention are those that I my self create
Disorder
Chaos

I debar all order
Repudiate all purity
Infatuated by contentment
I laugh at lies
Come behold the sickness in my common human eyes

I'm the greed
The cynic
I'm the indifferent gaze
Mendacity, betrayal;
This is not a phase
Ebullient with human filth, here I am
Here I stay
Flourishing in our disgrace
Blessed be the human way
