lyrics

The only hell I’ve experienced
Was the one I put myself through
When I put my trust in the powers that be
I put blinders over my own eyes
Ambition is the knife that stabbed me in the back
I didn’t consider the consequences of my selfish nature
A drive to pursue a life of none other than me
A disregard to the one they call “King”
I’ll make it on my own
I don’t need them
I put myself first,
And in doing that I dug my own grave
In the popular culture of todays day and age
All you need is yourself
No God!
No Friends!
All I need is my false sense of safety,
A sheltered dream with no hope of succeeding.
All I need is my sense of safety,
Ambition is the knife that stabbed me in the back
I didn’t consider
The consequences of a selfish nature
I make myself sick
I became everything that I swore against
I am the monstrosity!
I am the monstrosity!
