Necessary Evil

(album: Graveyard Shift - 2017)

Strip off the weight of morality and check it at the door
I'll show you the worst in me (what I've become)
Blow out the candles, I need not a wish for I am everything
Now crawl to my boots and lick (kneel before me)

I'ma have my cake and fucking eat you too

It's my party and I'll die when I want to
Die when I want to, die when I want to
The monster you've made is wearing the crown
I'll be the king and you be the clown
I'll take the blame, parade it around
You've made me the villain you can't live without

Reciting violence like poetry, no, you can't sit with us
Too fashionably plain (now say my name)
Forget everything you think you knew of who I used to be
I look much better as... as the enemy

I'ma have my fucking cake and eat yours too

It's my party and I'll die when I want to
Die when I want to, die when I want to
The monster you've made is wearing the crown
I'll be the king and you be the clown
I'll take the blame, parade it around
You've made me the villain you can't live without

I want you low

I won't let you die
Keep you alive
Just to remind you of what you are not

It's my party, I'll die when I want to
You wanna see me fail, but I won't die for you

It's my party and I'll die when I want to
Die when I want to, die when I want to
The monster you've made is wearing the crown
I'll be the king and you be the clown
It's my party and I'll die when I want to
Die when I want to, die when I want to

I want you low

I'ma have my cake and fucking eat you too
