[Verse 1]
Made something better, he kept it for himself
I’m not that stupid, I just need a lot of help
To understand how stupid you really are
[Verse 2]
Down at the bottom of the ocean, I lay down
Nobody’s coming, just continue to drown
And no one here could ever stop my ruin now, now
[Pre-Chorus]
And I know I’ve got not to fear
You’ll get me out
Oh God, just get me out of here
Are you astounding us, surrounding us?
[Chorus]
And asphyxiate all your pain away
Don’t try to win, it will only end in disgrace
[Verse 3]
Nobody’s daughter, she never was, she never will
Be beholden to anyone she cannot kill
You don’t understand how damaged we really are
You don’t understand how evil we really are
[Pre-Chorus]
And I will dig my own grave, yeah
I’m misbegotten
I am the last one you save here
Of course I’ll sleep forever and forever
[Chorus]
Anesthetize all your horrors away
We live inside this black web that you have spun
Greed, your bile is miles away
Don’t tell me I have I lost when clearly I’ve won
[Bridge]
I want to see you stretched out on the floor
The world-broken doll, the world’s shattered whore
And you, you can’t walk, but you, you crawl
Come on, infect us all
[Chorus]
Asphyxiate all your pain away
Don’t try to win, it will only end in disgrace
Translucent eyes in the cold light of day
It’s glorious, it's terrible, God I need it
It’s beautiful, it’s ravenous, I’ll just feed it
Coil down to your dark black decay
[Outro]
And I will dig my own grave now
I’m misbegotten
I am the last one you save here
It’s all gone rotten
