This song is about a girl in a box
Shhhhhhhh...
This song is called: Purity
Alright, on the count of four
I want to see everyone of you fucking jumping
One two three now, now, now, now, now
Maze, psychopathic daze, I create this waste
Back away from tangents, on the verge of drastic ways
Can't escape this place, I deny your face
Sweat gets in my eyes, I think I'm slowly dying
Put me in a home-made cellar
Put me in a hole for shelter
Someone hear me please, all I see is hate
I can hardly breathe, and I can hardly take it
Hands on my face, overbearing I can't get out
Hands on my face, overbearing I can't
Lost, run at my own cost, fearing laughter, scoffed
Running from the rush, detached from such and such
Bleak all around me, weak, listening, incomplete
I am not a dog, but I'm the one you're dogging
I am in a buried kennel
I have never felt so final
Someone find me please, losing all reserve
I am fucking gone, I think I'm fucking dying
Hands on my face overbearing, I can't get out
Hands on my face overbearing, I can't
You all stare, but you'll never see, there's something inside me
You all stare, but you'll never see, there's something inside me
You all stare, but you'll never see, there's something inside me
You all stare, but you'll never see, there's something in you I despise
Cut me, show me, enter
I am willing and able and never any danger to myself
Knowledge of my pain, knowledge of my pain
Or was my tolerance a phase? Empathy, out of my way
I can't die, I can't die
I can't die, I can't die
You all stare, but you'll never see, there's something inside me
You all stare, but you'll never see, there's something inside me
You all stare, but you'll never see, there's something inside me
You all stare, but you'll never see, there's something in you I despise
Despise, despise
Purity, purity, purity, purity
Purity, purity, purity, purity
Have you ever seen God?
Have you ever seen God?
Have you ever seen God?
Have you ever seen God?
Shhhhhhhh...
