Lacking the Ability to Process Empathy

Rats beneath me Slithering and seething Triumph seeds adversaries They can never do what you have done Lacking the ability To process empathy In the gloom of envy Friends turn to enemies You fail yourself Whores besiege me Bought and sold ideology Do what you're told methodology Poison filled toxicology Lacking the ability To process empathy In the grief of jealousy Friends turn to enemies You fail yourself Lacking the ability To process empathy In the grief of jealousy

Sick of living, unwilling to die I've been hated my whole fucking life Beat down and broken as my world fell apart My hands are empty, but I still have my heart Lost in the dark and I can't see the light Believed the lie that life was black and white Hate in your eyes is all that you see You should've been a better friend to me I won't submit in spite of your disease I'll be the one that you wouldn't be I'll turn on you and watch you bleed I don't care what it is, but I know what I need Painkiller Give me the painkiller Painkiller Take me to the place where I can feel nothing Left you behind, I can't carry your weight I'm not your failure or your guilt and shame It's not dark yet, but I can feel it come Feels like my life is already done See what I am, you hurt more than you helped I don't need you, it's on myself My heart's a wound I need to numb I can see the light; the worst is yet to come Painkiller Give me the painkiller Painkiller Take me to the place where I can feel nothing No hurt No pain Let me do my goddamn thing In their lies, I found the truth I pushed away the pain of youth Where I'm from, I would not hide I scratched, I clawed, I broke the binds Escape without the strain of life No one will get out alive Painkiller Give me the painkiller Painkiller Take me to the place where I can feel nothing

Constrained to this shit system Solely against my will Not content with what was given My soul can't be fulfilled I found the truth, the resolution To give strength to my scars I don't care, I'm not scared To force my vision into law Impulsive thrill Intent to kill Force them under my control Imposing will I don't know another way I know I don't have a place I don't know what to say So, give me strength to cause them pain Fulfill the need to see them crawl The need to feel nothing at all To take back what they stole To keep reason under control Impulsive thrill Intent to kill Force them under my control Imposing will It can never be enough No matter how deep it cuts It will never be enough
