Scapegoat Lyrics

I have heard more stories of myself

Than those that reside in my mind

Not to say it's all fake

I've made mistakes

All I can take away is

No one says a thing to my fucking face

No friends

Only enemies

You may be alive

But you've always been dead to me

All ends

No new beginnings

You may have survived

But you'll always be dead to me

It's no surprise

I'm your scapegoat

After all

I am an animal

Pleased

To be your scapegoat

After all

I'm an animal

Say what you will

Say what you want to say

I feel no pain

And I never cared anyway

What did you think

You could ever do to me

That these eyes haven't seen

I have felt everything

Once you have it all you're

Left with the emptiness

I remember vividly

All of the ways life bloomed

Into tragedy

Spiraling cycles of cynical thoughts

I have never known the real me

They say

You should just give up

Admit enough is enough

You'll never be what you've dreamed of

Get by, put it away inside

I can tell stories through my eyes

Not all are here

To conquer and defy

Some only drain

And exist to occupy

The only option

To construct walls miles high

And to never trust a soul

With the choices

That one day may guide your life

Separate your heart

From your mind

Beauty in the dark

Blackened in my heart

White over my eyes

Emptiness inside

Biting my nails

Biding my time

Waiting my turn

Taking what's mine

I will live this life

All alone

Even when the path is cold

I never needed

A hand to hold

I was given this life

To be on my own

My dreams may be deceased

So why even try

Always remember

My final goodbye

And so as these letters spell

The tales that tell my life

Forever the truth survives

I will never die

Growing pains

I consist of hollow veins

I've become

What I became

I sold my soul

For broken dreams

Someday, you should listen to yourself

Maybe then you'll realize

You don't truly care for

Anyone else

Self interest is

Undeniable

Nothing in this world

Is more ugly

Than the ego
