lyrics

The price we pay

Chorus: Now it's changed and rearranged
and faded all up in my brain, don't it feel the same
to you man, when you in this game?
can you feel the shame? lost without a name
without a thing to claim, this is the price we pay
(whispered 1X)

Everybodies always everywhere that i'm not
it's like whenever I show up, they all get hot
i'm always alone in this crowd, in this spot
it's like nobody wants me around, connect the dots
it ain't hard to figure out that nobody likes me
knowing these things comes naturally, I mean obviously
when people are crackin' up and makin' jokes about stuff
and then I show up and suddenly they all shut up
it's like i'm the virus of life and everybody hates me
I just wanna die so fuckin' VIOLENTLY
I knew this whole time that you never liked me
you're just makin' an idiot outta yourself so stop pretending

Chorus: Now it's changed and rearranged and faded all up in my brain
don't it feel the same to you man, when you in this game?
can you feel the shame, lost without a name, without a thing to claim
this is the price we pay, the price we pay
(2X)

(bridge) we know you hate us but that's okay
cuz we never gave a fuck about you anyway

They call us the ill-breed, the castout and disillusioned
the underprivlidged, without a hope or prayer
kicked to the curb and raised by our own wills
constantly strugglin', comin' up from nothin'
fightin' threw the ash and rubble of our troubled lives
bound and determined to survive and strive
in a world that never wanted us, we are kings
standin' here before you sayin' these things
but behind these eyes there are untold lies
about things you never asked me and unheard cries
day by day my soul bleeds from unfulfilled needs
do you feel me? do you hear me? i'm down on my knees
and i'm prayin' for a little relief
and a day of peace so I can release this grief
and make it threw a single solitary day
without feelin' like my soul will just wither away

Chorus: Now it's changed and rearranged and faded all up in my brain
don't it feel the same to you man, when you in this game?
can you feel the shame, lost without a name, without a thing to claim
this is the price we pay, the price we pay
(2X)

(bridge) we know you hate us but that's okay
cuz we never gave a fuck about you anyway

It's so insane, it's not a a game
the way you play with my brain, and you would think
that I might sink impossibly lower, see
it's just a phase but i'm not phased, just a little bit crazy
these last few weeks it's the way you looked at me
couldn't walk away so with rocks you stoned me
but my wounds will heal it's just a matter of time
it's just emotional scars that are left behind
but I don't care, that's where I draw the line
i'll just self-medicate to push you out of my mind

You keep toyin' with me, fuckin' with my emotions
pushin' me back and forth, takin' for granted my devotion
you're not the same person that you used to be
were you really lost or did you try to deceive me?
I hate you for what you've done, I hate you for who you are
I can't believe you would try to leave me so scarred
with a smile on your face you brought me to my knees
but you never expected me to walk away with ease
I never said "please" and I never even cried
even in the moment that I felt like I could die

Chorus: Now it's changed and rearranged and faded all up in my brain
don't it feel the same to you man, when you in this game?
can you feel the shame, lost without a name, without a thing to claim
this is the price we pay, the price we pay
(2X)
