“‘Annihilate Me’ feels like one of the most I Prevail songs on the album. It’s about opening yourself up over and over again only to keep getting cut down, but regardless of how many times you’ve been pushed down you’re going to push yourself further – even if that means your own annihilation.”
-Er...
[Verse 1]
I lie here with the maggots
Waiting for the rain
Covered in ash and dirt
I never seem to learn
Come wash it all away
I can't change what I won't admit
I can't remember if I won't forget
[Chorus]
So pull the skin back from my bones
Annihilate me
Come nail me to my throne
Crown my head in shame
Covered in ash and dirt
I never seem to learn
Come nail me to my throne
I'm the king of suffering
(I'm the king of suffering)
[Verse 2]
I've tried to break the habit
I've learned to love the pain
And I can't change what I won't admit
I feel the vicious cycle start again
[Chorus]
So pull the skin back from my bones
Annihilate me
Come nail me to my throne
Crown my head in shame
Covered in ash and dirt
I never seem to learn
Come nail me to my throne
I'm the king of suffering
[Breakdown]
Annihilate me
Annihilate me
Annihilate me
[Chorus]
So pull the skin back from my bones
Annihilate me
Come nail me to my throne
Crown my head in shame
Covered in ash and dirt
I never fucking learn
Come nail me to my throne
I'm the king of suffering (I lie here with the maggots)
The king of suffering (Waiting for the rain)
[Outro]
Annihilate me
Annihilate me
Annihilate me
I'm the king of suffering
