My pain, my pride, these scars are mine   My pain, my pride, these scars are mine   My pain, my pride, these scars are mine      I will tell you a story that's never been told   I will tell you a secret five lifetimes old   My life has been a prison   A labyrinth built beneath the mountain of tragedy   I'm a stain on the cloth, I'm just an after-thought   But I would die for this      But through the veins of decay, I'll remain to betray   To live like Caesar, to die like Jesus   To build my own religion   No gods, no laws   To celebrate pain forsaken and ashamed   To watch them all crawl beneath us   On this bed of nails and regret   Dying of fevers, betrayal, and sweat, I cry      My organs are rotting, my enemies are plotting   I am made of pages paragraphs and inspirations   Paper girl, burn the world I pass the flame to you      Murder, mayhem, hurt her, hate him   Murder, mayhem, hurt her, hate him   Murder, mayhem, hurt her, hate him   Murder, mayhem, hurt her, hate him   Murder, mayhem, fuck her, slay them      My pain, my pride, these scars are mine   My pain, my pride, these scars are mine, my pain      My misery has been formulated into an equation of nine   My sanity wrote a suicide note but   One of us is illiterate and the other is blind   My first act of treason was picking up a pen   My first act of love was finding myself again   The hardest thing to do was standing up to you   Now I'm off my knees, now you're begging me please   I'm the wound and the weapon, the fracture and the fist      My organs are rotting, my enemies are plotting   I am made of pages paragraphs and inspirations   Paper girl, burn the world I pass the flame to you      Murder, mayhem, hurt her, hate him   Murder, mayhem, hurt her, hate him   Murder, mayhem, hurt her, hate him   Murder, mayhem, hurt her, hate him   Murder, mayhem, fuck her, slay them      My pain, my pride, these scars are mine   My pain, my pride, these scars are mine, my pain      That stabbing in your heart   That black hole in your soul   Slowly ripping you apart   That's me, that's me      So let it be written   So let it be done   The brighter they shine   The darker we become      Vae victus, abomination   Vae victus, abomination   Vae victus, abomination
