You're thinkin' 'bout the sweetest of all temptations... 
Taking you back around...
I'm hopin' that this world full of expectations... 
Knocks your soul right back down...
Why worry when you know that your nose is growin'... 
Self righteous so you seem...
I'm thinkin' that your stench is so rotten that you
Should bury all of your dreams but...

You keep thinking that your words are gonna move me 
But I don't even want to talk to you...
Lots of people thinkin' that your claws are gonna ruin me 
But don't you worry baby I'm not always who I seem...

Don't love me... don't touch me... don't push me... I'm only in the video...
Don't hate me... negate me... don't rape me... I'm only in the video...

You're prayin' on my weakness and fear of failure... 
Makin' me small and numb...
You've locked me in a cage filled with my own nightmares... 
You've made me act so dumb...
Be careful 'cause I'm risin' up from the ashes... 
One day I'll beat you down...
Be careful 'cause my music is my salvation... 
I'll find strength through its sound but...
