Brutus

(album: Girl In A Box - 2021)

I'm breaking all my bones so I can breathe
Behold the winds of change
A serpent so meticulous in grief
And all your wicked ways
Devastation bound to the sins of flesh
I can feel the sickness creeping in
Do you even see the consequence?
Poisoned by the secrets you're keeping

For the first time
I'm walking with a purpose
I'll show you what it's like to get your feelings hurt
Set me up to fall
Think you're in control
But I'm taking back what you stole

And now the path ahead is crystal clear
As I rise from the grave
I'm taking on the form you've come to fear
With my unholy rage
Revel in the pride before the fall
As the marble monuments crumble
You sold me for your silver
A tale as old as scripture
And you, Brutus?
You will rue the day that I met you

For the first time
I'm walking with a purpose
I'll show you what it's like to get your feelings hurt
Set me up to fall
Think you're in control
But I'm taking back what you stole

With my bridges burning
And my villains around me
I'm completely surrounded
But my empire rises
And when the time comes
I'll destroy your misconceptions
You took the last of my trust
I'm here to avenge myself

For the first time
I'm walking with a purpose
I'll show you what it's like to get your feelings hurt
Set me up to fall
Think you're in control
But I'm taking back what you stole

For the first time
I'm walking with a purpose
I'll show you what it's like to get your feelings hurt
Set me up to fall
For once and for all
But I'm taking back what you stole
