"Self-Destruction" lyrics

"Self-Destruction"

I said go away
Take a moment
Think it over
I said not today
Cause everybody sucks
And I cannot relate
And everything is fucked
And I cannot be saved

Maybe that's because I'm on the way
Took everything I had and threw it in the flames
Watch it burn while they're steady taking aim
I guess it came with repercussions
I've been in it for a minute
This is not up for discussion

Tell me that you hate me and I'll tell you that I fuckin' love it
Tell me you'll save me and I'll tell you that you're savin' nothin'
Tell me bout your demons and I'll tell you that I've got a dozen
I'll take em with me on my path to self destruction

We go 24/7 till we're six feet deep
Head in the clouds but our heart's concrete
Burn the whole thing down while they got cold feet
Yeah they can try to copy but they can't compete
If you don't know the Devil
Then you don't know me
Yeah
You don't know the Devil
Then you don't know me

All the preconceived premonitions
From people who never listen
Creating all the division
Yeah how can you live with yourself
I'm the definition
Of coming to a collision
The old and the new edition
The hero becomes a villain

So tell me that you hate me and I'll tell you that I fuckin' love it
Tell me you'll save me and I'll tell you that you're savin' nothin'
Smile at the thought of my demise on the day of judgment
I pay the price on my path to self destruction

We go 24/7 till we're six feet deep
Head in the clouds but our heart's concrete
Burn the whole thing down while they got cold feet
Yeah they can try to copy but they can't compete
If you don't know the Devil
Then you don't know me
You don't know the Devil
Then you don't know me

Now let me just tell you a little bit about the Devil first

Yeah
I am the one
Alpha Omega, I won't be outdone
My power's limitless
You are like Icarus, you have been flying too close to the sun
I'm on the way like a destination
I clear your brain like a meditation
I'll change your mind like a revelation
So get out the way
Get out the way
I see what's mine and I'm gonna take it
I do what I say, call it dedication
I built an army into a nation
Now karma is coming
You can't escape it

We go 24/7 till we're six feet deep
If you don't know the Devil
Then you don't know me
