Don't Wanna Make You Suffer - Geoff Zanelli

I'm going to rise up early every day Overcome every obstacle in my way Keep a secret chamber in my heart clean Polish every surface to a brilliant sheen Remain positive and stay on the grind Banish every other thought from my mind I'm going to make you suffer I'm going to make you suffer Let your yes be yes, and your no, come from deep in your belly I'm going to make you suffer There was a captain, many years at sea Living the life of the sailor, rugged and free Nothing but the sky to sing him to sleep at night Safe in the arms of the ocean - no land in sight Out on the waves, you try to keep warm Nobody here to sound the alarm I'm going to make you suffer I'm going to make you suffer The first in line will receive the full brunt of the blow, oh I'm going to make you suffer Woke up from a dream, whimpering like an infant Over time, people tell me their dreams grow distant And they learn to love the lives they lead No more hungry ghosts in the chimney to feed You often hear stories like these Someday I will see you on your knees I'm going to make you suffer I'm going to make you suffer Say what you like, there won't be anybody listening I'm going to make you suffer

See you when you hit the bottom You think a mother's ever been so proud? A falling wretch, they clipped your wings Heaven sent from the burning clouds You know my face, remember me When everybody has forgotten you Once all your friends have left, you'll see That it gets lonely at the bottom too Sinking deeper, yet pull me from the depths Please hold me close, never let go We're going down, down, down (Wе're going down, down, down) But if I'm gonna stay Would you noticе? We're falling out of place We're so hopeless You know my face, remember me When everybody has forgotten you Once all your friends have left, you'll see That it gets lonely at the bottom too Cry yourself To death upon your bed of broken crowns Once placed upon you Find yourself Or run and hide beneath your self-made hell But if I'm gonna stay Would you notice? We're falling out of place We're so hopeless We gave in (we gave out) We gave up (we gave up) We gave up everything we had It's all about to break Do you really want to hurt me now? Do you realize that you hate yourself? Can't be you, it's everybody else Can't be you, it's everybody else So, you really want to hurt me now? We both know it's 'cause you hate yourself Can't be you, it's everybody else (can't be you, it's everybody) Abandon the ghost of me The ghost of me But I don't want to stay Do you really want to hurt me now? (Hurt me now?) Do you really want to break me down? (Break me down?) Do you really want to hate yourself? (Hate yourself?) Do you really want to put me out? (Put me out?) See you when you hit the bottom Oh You know my face, remember me The ghost of me becomes a part of you

They're long winters in the city of spirals Toxic cycle, toxic cycle With neon hinterlands, you cynically eye-roll Toxic cycle, suicidal (But there's a weight upon your chest) Deserted homes, but you know Turn yourself 'round or you'll be lost in death Usurpers, drones, but you know Turn yourself 'round or you'll be just like them (So you can be someone they can't) So you can face yourself, face the world Even through it all (This city's back to haunt you) (This city's out to get you) Face yourself, face this curse (Doomswitch) They're all fictional, incipient idols Unwanted (prayers), forgotten (beds) They're long winters in the city of spirals Accursed (hexed), despondent (dead) Cursed, your words You're cursed Deserted homes, but you know Turn yourself 'round or you'll be lost in death Usurpers, drones, but you know Turn yourself 'round or you'll be just like So you can face yourself, face the world Even through it all (This city's back to haunt you) (This city's out to get you) Face yourself, face this curse (Doomswitch) Deserted This city's back to haunt you Usurper Buried down into your core You know this story, you know how it ends But you don't know the world around you sees you just like them Just like them
