an image of humanity twisted and broken down    my pity quickly turns to hatred    as i watch them fall to their knees    controlled by a crutch    you're broken - you're broken down    i've seen you rise - i've seen you fall    won't show remorse - it was your call    but still i can't deny, i can't deny it hurts    i remember how much it meant    i remember just what you said    there's no excuse for your abuse    there's no rhyme for the line you feed us    about growing up, can't hide this pride inside    as i watch them slowly die    your skin is tainted by your promises broken    how can you live with yourself    how can they live with themselves    how can you live with yourself    how can they live with themselves    your theories of moderation    a plan destined to fail    now hateful words and insulting stares    are used to justify their corruption
