Stressful minds doing stressful things
Stressed to the point of no return
Turning all that once was satisfactory
Straight into malcontent
Endless, mindless ignorance
Bringing forth the hatred trapped within
My time is running out
What have I become
A killer?
Or a thief?
Or just another fucking animal
Am I a simple beast
Resenting all other versions of life
Crawling to the surface as his nature is revealed
Robbing the life of everyone involved
An act of ruthless force that’s finishing up my work
Never rest only work to an early grave
the fires will bring your end
Early to rise and early to bed
It keeps you healthy even when you're more dead than alive
on the inside of your mind
All that accumulated rage is soon to burst out,
it will all come crashing down on your heads,
i will reap what others have sown
Bar the doors, block the exits, let no one out
Pour the fuel, strike the match, let's light this motherfucker up
Hear the screams, as the flames rises higher and higher,
Fires will start and fires will bring your end.
