And scene, co-direct my life for me
Rewrite everything you don't believe
Throw out all the lore and history
They just get in the way of the world you portray
My life in your character design
No nuance or moral compromise
All evil on earth personified
You're the light, I'm the shade, there's no room for the gray
So you throw me out to sea
Tie me down with extra weight
And in case you see me breathe
You can burn me at the stake
But you left me drowning
I'm sinking deeper by the day
I'm fucking drowning
In things I cannot change
Left adrift to the undertow, I'm bound
When I come up for air, you push me down
All the way to the seafloor ground
Where I lay in the sand in the grasp of your hand
Write it off like you do for everything
An accident that you couldn't see coming
Another verse in the requiem you sing
Out of time, out of tune, out of breath, out of key
So what are you waiting for?
Choke me to death
Watch as I suffocate
Finish me off
Clean up the mess you made
Throw me away
Bury me under this weight
(You're the light, I'm the shade, there's no room for the gray)
So you throw me out to sea
Tie me down with extra weight
And in case you see me breathe
You can burn me at the stake
(But you left me drowning)
I'm sinking deeper by the day
I'm fucking drowning
In things I cannot change
