The path of betrayal is often lines with roses.
But trust not the flowers, for in the soil live the serpents.
The air that we breathe; The poisonous sting.
We are all living in treason.
When honesty is simply an idea, a virtue so few of us possess.
I wear my heart outside my chest.
And time, after time, after time the dagger, the axe, they strike at our backs.
I'm so fed up.
We've been here for so long.
My will is tired and my spirit is worn.
Morale is low but we can't let it break.
Another battle, another day.
Now let us make haste, and move as wolves amidst the shadows.
Swiftly, we are not afraid.
We are not afraid.
So platoon: march on through the valley.
Fear not the snipers, though their guns are all pointed at me.
Fixed bayonets, we'll fight to the death.
We're breathing treason with every breath.
So platoon: march on through the prairie.
A heart of iron, the explosions don't even scare me.
Fixed bayonets, there's no time for rest.
Three days without sleep and still we'll fight to the death.

And you said, "I'm sorry things are so fucked up."
But those words didn't mean a fucking thing.
"Sorry" just became a part of your wardrobe, something you'd wear on a Friday night.
Something you'd wear for all the times you tore me in two.
Those word didn't mean a thing to you.
And bottom line, you're not the person that I thought you were.
Your words are weightless.
You're dishonest, disloyal, and selfish.
I've seen too many sleepless nights.
This plight I can't escape.
I'd love to say I hate you, and maybe I will someday.
But for now I'll stay as bitter as the winter's cold.
Cause living life as the shell of a human is getting fucking old.
You know, it's hard to really love this life with this rock in my stomach and these bricks on my chest.
The mask you wear is fake and insincere.
This song's for all those times I gave you more than you deserve.
Cause bottom line, you're not the person that I thought you were.
Your words are weightless.
You're dishonest, disloyal, and selfish.
So fuck you and your apologies.
You're cheap.

All I want is to believe that there is an ounce of what I once saw in you still left inside.
An ounce of decency.
An ounce of passion.
Something I used to admire, something I used to love.
But your honest word, a masquerade of deceit.
I've become loathsome.
Your charm lay beaten by repulse.
It's safe to say you're not the same.
I'll watch you burn.
I'll curse your name.
Burn.
Justice enflamed.
Consumed by all you've become.
Shrouded in lies.
Consumed by all you've become.
You fucking burn.
