I've got everything I'd ever need A home, loving family food and the sea Everything else is unwanted lust I want it all but all is never enough To snuff out the fact That I'm overzealous of the notion of being promoted Contrary to wanting to be free Caged without a fence Barbed wire lines the walls of my head They'll all snigger and smirk like you're a dying dog in the dirt When they've been dead inside for twice as long Meaningless lives giving meaning by being less mean I mean is that justification for everything? The holier than thou god complex again (We'll build you up to be the god you think you are) Piece by piece We'll build you up to be the god that you think you are Piece by piece Wait awhile for that asshole smile It's all in your head kid That mirror won't kick your head in But I will No charges laid Just your head to the bricks One hit to the pavement Now I'm the hypocrite 'Cause I tried to make a truce Doubted my will from the get-go Now look what I've gotta do to you Didn't they teach you about the detrimental effects of bullying Last year while you still in school, huh? Dropped out? Dropped on your head at birth? Same thing in the end, you're a tool Piece by piece (piece by piece) Piece by piece We'll build you up to be the god that you think you are Piece by piece We'll build you up to be the god that you think you are Piece by piece Wait awhile for that asshole smile Now I'm the hypocrite 'Cause I tried to make a truce Doubted my will from the get go Now look what I've gotta do to you We're here to escape Reality is here to stay Snake state of mind Anger and clarity intertwined
