Lyrics

This world rejects me
This world threw me away
This world never gave me a chance
This world gonna have to pay

I don't believe in your institutions
I did what you want me to
Like the cancer in your system
I've got a little surprise for you

Something inside of me
Has opened up its eyes
Why did you put it there
Did you not realize
This thing inside of me
It screams the loudest sound
Sometimes I think I could
Burn

I look down there, where you're standing
Flock of sheep out on display
With all your lies wrapped up around you
I can take it all away

Something inside of me
Has opened up its eyes
Why did you put it there
Did you not realize
Something inside of me
It screams the loudest sound
Sometimes I think I could

I'm gonna burn this whole world down

I never was a part of you (burn)

I am your savior (burn)
I am corruption (burn)
I am the angel (burn)
Of your destruction (burn)
I am perversion (burn)
Secret desire (burn)
I am your future (burn)
Swallowed up in fire (burn)
