Reparations

(album: This Heavy Void - 2020)

I stay addicted to the pain you caused me
Inflicted by the stain of humanity
A piece of shit
A liar, a cheat
I stay quiet while I load my magazines

How many lives have been ruined for profit?
Too many left in the wake
Of your conscience

I grit my teeth

I grit my teeth as you fill your pockets
I'm chomping at the bit
To rip your eyes
From their sockets

Your betrayal is deeper than you know
Keep feeding your starving ego
Your betrayal is deeper than you know
Keep feeding your starving ego

If you knew me now
Like I knew you then
You'd be on your knees
Begging for the end
Begging for the end

This is the end of the road on the path you paved
You can count your cash in a shallow grave

Your fakest tendency's to try and sympathize
But you're not man enough to look me in the eyes
A small time, pill pushing son of a bitch
Last to own it but the first to ditch
So hard headed

But you never learn a thing, do you?
I have to carve it in my knife before I run it through
Any last words I can carve on your tombstone?
I'll bury it with you
So no one brings you home

In the dirt

This is the end of the road on the path you paved
You can count your cash in a shallow grave
