lyrics

Dark and dingy, the womb of a whore
Maggots and worms litter her floor
A lab of torture and intoxication
The place of creation of the abomination

The sinister plot begins to unfold
Chip away the flesh to devour the soul
The heart is blackened, the blood is tainted
The perfect slave is instantiated

Pre-chorus:
Snakes and snails and puppy dog tails
That’s what little boys are made of
Sugar and spice and everything nice
Beat the bastard into compliance

Chorus:
I am a hater, controlled by anger
I cannot forgive and I cannot forget
I am in a rage, breaking from my cage
I am the monster you created

Shriveled and shaking, shackled to the corner
Spoon fed carcinogen, the eyes tell the horror
Voodoo child needs to be clean
Wash the away sins with gasoline

The plan of action is nearly complete
Dance on innocence, triumphant defeat
Subversion of the dirty prodigy
No strength or voice left to beg for mercy

Pre-chorus
Chorus

Cauterize, lobotomize
Surgical perfection behavioral correction
Scar the truth in my eyes
Serialize, sterilize
Pathetic and neutered, the scapegoat will go on to torture and terrorize

I am nobody, I am no one

Chorus

I am nobody, I am no one
