Lyrics

You had all of them on your side
Didn't you?
Didn't you?
You believed in all your lies
Didn't you?
Didn't you?

The ruiner's got a lot to prove he's got nothing to lose and now he made you believe
The ruiner's your only friend well he's the living end to the cattle he deceives
The raping of the innocent you know the ruiner ruins everything he sees
Now the only pure thing left in my fucking world is wearing your disease

How did you get so big?
How did you get so strong?
How did you get so hard?
How did it get so long?

You had to give them all a sign
Didn't you?
Didn't you?
You had to covet what was mine
Didn't you?
Didn't you?

The ruiner's a collector he's an infector serving his shit to his flies
Maybe there will come a day when those that you keep blind will suddenly
Realize
Maybe it's a part of me you took to a place I hoped it would never go
And maybe that fucked me up so much more than you'll ever know

How did you get so big?
How did you get so strong?
How did you get so hard?
How did it get so long?

What you gave to me
My perfect ring of scars
You know I can see
What you really are

You didn't hurt me
Nothing can hurt me
You didn't hurt me
Nothing can stop me now
