Asylum
Just like Gentlemen Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I know what you do when you're alone.
I've tried to bury the truth,
I've ignored your filthy moans.
But now it's too late for you,
I've reached a point of no return.
Don't even think about lying,
How about I cut out your tongue?
I'd do the world a favor.
Your eyes are next, but not your life.
Death would be rewarding for you.
I can't even punish you, By taking the ones you love.
Because,
You only care about,
You only care about,
Yourself.
You are fucking worthless scum, I will not put up with it.
Your infectious arrogance,
Makes me sick.
But you'll suffer somehow.
Trust me, I'll make sure of it.
I'll make your life a living hell.
The same way you did for me,
And everyone else around.
Ever since the miscarriage,
You haven't been the same.
It's as if you loved your unborn child,
More than the three of us.
I can't even punish you,
By taking the ones you love.
Because,
You only care about,
You only care about,
Yourself.
What kind of mother,
Tells her daughter
To go kill herself,
"To make life easier,
For everyone else?"
You live your life,
On your hands and knees.
Claiming the world as a victim,
Of your disease.
This generation,
Ruined with oversaturation,
Of your infection.
You'll get what you have coming.
She-who-must-not-be-named will suffer the consequences,
She-who-must-not-be-named will suffer the consequences,
Of her actions.
I can't even punish you,
By taking the ones you love.
Because
You only care about,
You only care about,
Yourself.
What kind of mother,
Tells her daughter
To go kill herself,
"To make life easier,
For everyone else?"
