LYRICS

I'm just a Judas, looking for a silver line

And tomorrow is still a step behind

Hey hey drama, I'd love to be a waste of your time

Oh no, thanks so much for wasting mine

So hear me out

Let's hear it for the damaged

Who understands but the broken?

Developed in the arms of spite

I'm all fucked up and I make it look good

Adrenalin sight tonight

I'm overthrown

I'm over your throne

I'm over it

Sick, sickened, I'm sickening, I'm stricken by the fist

Blessed are the fires that have burned me

Listen to this, the lesson is, never underestimate the agony

Death of the fool, birth of the cruel

Remember how you spent the best part of forever in a state of pure disease

It was another thing altogether to forget that you brought out the worst in me

Hey Karma, you don't feel like I-I do

You just wish you'd hate like I-I do

We are the bitter, the maladjusted and wise

Fighting off a generation too uptight

We're all dressed up with nobody to kill

The rhetoric stops tonight

I'm overthrown

I'm over your throne

I'm over it

Sick, sickened, I'm sickening, I'm stricken by the fist

Blessed are the fires that have burned me

Listen to this, the lesson is, never underestimate the agony

Death of the fool, birth of the... birth of the cruel, yeah

Now's not the time for denying

Shifting the focus to scare

Let's not forget we're all guilty

All three dimensions polluted by earnest despair

I'm overthrown

I'm over your throne

I'm overthrown

I'm over your throne

I'm over it
