[Intro]
Now that you can't come back
To face your own reflection
Constructing your collapse
Designing your destruction
[Verse 1]
With ill designs burned in your eyes
Hide in the shadow of your lies, antagonize
Virtue displaced, a pure disgrace
No dignity, a barren waste, still on the take
Who will you be today?
[Chorus]
Reap the rotten fruits of your labor
A bitter taste of exile and failure
Fatal flaws becoming clearer
Reptile eyes in the mirror
[Verse 2]

And with a crooked mentality
Watch it all implode and fall away
A tragedy, your sick intentions on display

[Chorus]
Reap the rotten fruits of your labor
A bitter taste of exile and failure
Fatal flaws becoming clearer
Reptile eyes in the mirror
[Guitar Solo]
[Bridge]

Turns back on you, cause and effect
Strings you pulled and decks you stacked
A falling house of cards, a pathetic wreck
[Chorus]
Reap the rotten fruits of your labor
A bitter taste of exile and failure
Fatal flaws becoming clearer
Reptile eyes in the mirror
