This Hell, My Home

Born in the shadows Forced to evolve Mutated flesh, my skin dissolves Forsaken by light, enslaved by darkness I am heartless I've become a monster When I look in the mirror, that's all I see I'm not the man I used to be Deformed and destined to die Becoming the parasite There's nothing left to live for! Beneath the surface Only vengeance remains Beneath the surface Only vengeance remains In the face of defeat, I close my eyes I let the hate bleed out as the rest of me dies I found the strength in myself to overcome this hell I found the strength in myself to overcome this hell I did it on my own Exiled by the rest of the world I did it on my own I made this hell my home I've become the scum of the earth Molded by the flames of regret I'll show you something you'll never forget I am starting to wonder why I am here to begin with I can't take this Living a life of regret No matter how hard I work I still end up in debt I've been wasting it all away Trying to be something I will never be I'm the scum of the earth I'm the product of a stillborn birth There's nothing left inside of me Just a shriveled up heart in the dark That's all that's worth fighting for While the demons inside me Tear me apart Stillborn Thrown in the garbage while your mothers weep Standing on your bones beneath
