"Cherophobe" lyrics

Break the world over your knee
Show us that you meant what you said
Show us that you started with the best, the best intentions
Hold us all in your hands
Then clench your fist and start another war
Show us that you started with the best, the best intentions

Crack the whip
And hold up a gun against my head
Leave me here for dead
Cock the gun
And pull the trigger, then turn around to run
Oh, face up to what you've done

I'm only crying 'cause you're not
Oh, how do you stay so calm
When the people 'round you want you to fall?
I'm only trying 'cause you don't
Oh, how do you keep so clean
When the stains surround me?

Stop the kids who pray for more
Then smite the ones who will not pray at all
Show us that you started with the best, the best intentions

Crack the whip
And break my back, I'm just a stubborn sewer rat
I'm destined for the rack
Hit and run
Chew me up and leave me stranded in the mud
Oh, face up to what you've done

I'm only crying 'cause you're not
Oh, how do you stay so calm
When the people 'round you want you to fall?
I'm only trying 'cause you don't
Oh, how do you keep so clean
When the stains surround me?

I'm a lost boy trying to understand
God knows I'm trying, but she won't lend a hand
She's busy covering up her mess
I'm just a lost boy trying to understand
My thoughts when I'm happy, I'm waiting for the drop
Another teenage cherophobe
