Shattered Pieces Lyrics

    And this is how the world died
    and this is how the world died

    ...i can hear you judging me.

    [i'll hear your confession]
    i found the best piece of me

    [kneel down]
    alone, shivering in the dark

    [place your face between my thighs]
    3 centimeters tall

    [& talk to god...]
    eating it's heart
    .. but you will not feast on me today.

    this is how the world died.

    who will slay this thing?
    [i forgive you]

    who will play the butcher & end my suffering?
    [i forgive you]

    ... i fucked the minds of the masses with the fingers of liberty.
    this is not a threat. [this is not a threat]

    i'm not perfect, i'm not a beauty queen, i'm just me.
    [no one escapes this life alive]

    we are all,
    prisoners here.

    [all shapes & sizes]

    ... i scream for all the women i've never been but i hoped i would
    be.
    [i'm proud of who i am]

    forever, chasing the sun.
    [i'm proud of me]

    ... she bites her trembling mind.

    it began as all tragedies do,
    [forgive me, she's the one, forgive me]

    with pain & deception.

    ... if you'll be the paper, i'll be the pen.
    and this is it .. [i've tasted hell, & it tastes just like you]
    my final plea.

    no one is coming to save me.
    no one is going to change things.

    the answers will not drop from the sky.
    i will not oneday wake with a different disguise.

    the only solution ... is revolution.

    [art is war ... fight, fight]
    [[pain makes me safe]]

    .. the odds were always against me.
    [lose weight/clearly think]

    i exist.
    i am broken.

    i exist.
    i am broken.

    .. if god is my father then i am an orphan.
    i am broken.

    i'm not a mistake
    [my ancestry is a ghost story]

    i'm a prophecy
    [my love life is a crime scene]

    i'm an omen
    [my self-esteem is a string of unsolved murders]

    the radio is brainwashing me,
    filling my head with these self-conspiracies.

    .. i am an emotional nightmare ..

    i can't hide the pain inside
    [builder of my own mythology]

    just tell me ... you're listening
