They told me to try when everything I've known is a lie To forgive, forget and let die Pain is a matter of the mind When will my agony subside They told me to try when everything I've known is a lie To forgive, forget and let die Pain is a matter of the mind You are cancer, I'm a cynic with every laceration I know you fucking meant it, bitch! I can't escape you, I'm coming apart at the seams My heads unraveling but your conscious is clean You don't know what you mean to me Can't you see what this does to me If I could speak my screams would be deafening I bite my tongue My minds the tree and these thoughts are my branches Psychologically lynching myself day in and day out Day in and day out! Am I pathetic? Am I pathetic?! Keep my head held high When all love began to subside That's when they told me kid, you better hang 'em high Hang 'em high, hang 'em high Hang me high, hang me high Hang me high, leave me to die Hang me high, leave me to die Hang me high, leave me to die I'll keep my head held high I'll keep my hopes held high That's when they told me kid you better, hang 'em high They say God has a plan Well let me tell you kid it's a lie!
