What more could I possibly say?
I've gone above and beyond of what you thought I'd be
There's no surprise to me you just can't relate
The depths I've fallen, you would never been able to take
But if you think you can then step up to plate
First you see it, then you don't believe it
Then you're gonna be there to question "Why?"
Why am I the one who has to suffer and be crucified?
Some will call it fate, or call it karma, or simply call it fucked
Say you're getting older, moving forward, to me you're giving up
I am your fucking savior
I am the fucking antichrist
Do you think you could handle the nightmare

The people who left me, and those who I banished

Hate me if it makes you feel better
Go!
I am your fucking savior
I am the fucking antichrist
I am the one and only answer
I am the fucking antichrist
Hate me if it makes you feel better
You can hate me if it makes you feel better

“ As far as what the song means, it’s pretty much about myself and how I view myself and how I view people that have exited my life, or have looked at me like I’m not on the right path or I’ve chosen some kind of not so flattering lifestyle. I’m basically kinda feeding into that and saying like I am...
