I want be everything you fear,
Crush the power you hold into dust.
I want to be everything you think I am,
To bathe in your disgust.
Don’t want to think.
Don’t want to feel.
Want to summon every ounce of hate in my veins
And smash everything that I see.
Unleash the monster you wish I was.
Watch the fear creep across your face
As you realize the power you hold
Can’t free you from my grip.
I know that’s what you want.
Create the monsters you seek to cage.
Caught in a cycle of your making.
Recidivism equals capital gain.
That’s what you want.
System fueled by impotent rage.
Caught in a cycle.
Won’t get your hands on me again.
I want to be everything you fear,
Crush the power you hold into dust.
