Parasites - Conduit

Speaking only to hear their own voice Empty vessels making so much noise For our sanity's sake, we'll torch the ground And salt the Earth in our wake They rise just to drop like flies I can't watch as they breed and multiply Draw blood, you parasites Flat line, as you pull the splinters from your eye I won't watch you plead your case High up on your soapbox stage As you appoint yourself authority Condemner of youth Not even the truth will set you free Who put the crown on your head? You're not a king of anything (you'll burn in the eyes of the world) So cast your stones (and close your fists) In a house of glass (you better not miss) Is this the attention you crave? You won't find peace, may you turn in your grave So bury the bones Burn all the evidence and carry on like nobody knows What you've been dragging around The bloodied names and the rise of the body count "Don't dare to break the mold Shut up and do as you're told" I don't remember how the fuck it got so Overcomplicated, the truth is overrated And when the chips are down They'll burn it to the fucking ground For the ones who refuse to admit For the contrarian hypocrites Those who live to provoke As venom spills from your throat I hope you choke Oh, I hope you choke So sink your teeth in 'til you Draw blood Draw blood, you parasites Why don't you show your face? Step into the light Who put the crown on your head? You're not a king of anything (You'll burn in the eyes of the world) So cast your stones (and close your fists) In a house of glass (you better not miss) Is this the attention you crave? You won't find peace, may you turn in your grave As you rise (you drop like flies) I can't watch (you multiply) Why search for the source of a lie? It's easier to deride what you can't deny I won't watch you plead your case High up on your soapbox stage As you appoint yourself authority Condemner of youth, not even the truth will set you free

Will we ever find a way to cover up these scars? I finally see the beauty in everything we are I, I can't believe I waited all this time To figure out what's missing I, I can't believe that this is happening To me, this can't keep happening What the hell is happening to me?
