[Verse 1]
Twist the fingers, crush the bone
Do what you must to leave me dethroned
I beg to see what you claim to see
We are the same energy, but in two different realities
I am human, I'm alive
Where I've grown, what I've learned, falsehood fortified
I was human, so alive
Abandoned my own kind, simple minds is where Abaddon thrives
[Break]
The jokes on you
I have nothing to prove
[Verse 2]
Find me where none choose to view
Forsaken wisdom hidden within angelic tombs
Where even microscopic cease in growth
Ancient knowledge etched in tomes
[Chorus]
Before you judge the being you see
Remember your words only fuel the hate
Children of tragedy, life built upon savagery
Misunderstood books, power over wisdom, they've poisoned the roots
Feel me before you wish me doom
I too ate the lies fed from the mother's womb
Don't see me for the things I've done
Witness me for what I've become
[Post-Chorus]
Witness me
You will witness me
[Chorus]
Before you judge the being you see
Remember your words only fuel the hate
Children of tragedy, life built upon savagery
Misunderstood books, power over wisdom, they've poisoned the roots
Feel me before you wish me doom
I too ate the lies fed from the mother's womb
Don't see me for the things I've done
Witness me for what I've become
Witness me for what I've become
[Guitar Solo]
[Outro]
Witness me
Witness me
Witness me
Witness me

not really regarding outside input. Obviously, there’s a degree to which that’s important, but it’s about just unashamedly being yourself and fighting for what you think is right. At the end
of the day, if you do your best, then who’s ther...
