lyrics

All of my life, I've heard these voice in my head
From stupid people just like you
People who feel it's their duty
To try to tear me down
Because I'll never be anything like them

Every day, with every word you say
You drive me closer to the point of no return
If you don't stop soon
You'll have a bullet wound
To account for my loss of humanity

It's a comforting idea, don't you think
That you can use me as your whipping boy
To measure how good you are
By how much I am not
Does it make your life easier to live?

Every day, with every word you say
You drive me closer to the point of no return
If you don't stop soon
You'll have a bullet wound
To account for my loss of humanity

You bring this all on yourself, don't you know?
You bring this all on yourself, don't you know?

Every day, with every word you say
You drive me closer to the point of no return
If you don't stop soon
You'll have a bullet wound
To account for my loss of humanity
