UNBURNT


Set Myself to Fail

I am not responsible
I have no choice, no free will
Don’t make me self-heal
Don’t make me get real

I am powerless to act
my own part by heart
My actions are determined
I’m blameless from the start

Everything is always another’s fault
I’m hiding here behind these lying [whining] walls
I’d like to pass the buck along to you
Doesn’t matter if it isn’t true

You say “Stand up straight”
I say “It’s not my fate,
It’s buried in my bones”
just leave me alone

I can’t believe you want me to have
just a little shame
Just because I did this, I’m guiltless
Just the same

Leave me be, I don’t want any liability, no
You’re so mean, you won’t let me lean
(You make me grow)

Don’t ask me to change my ways
You know I have a disease
Don’t argue-it’s stale
I’ve set myself to fail


Apostate (instrumental)


Me

I talk above the crowd
demand attention now
I never hear a thing
(It’s ‘cause I’m never listening)
I climb atop the stack
to stab you in the back
Oh, I’m such a liar too
the better my dear to use you

It's all about me me me
Me,
Me me me,
Me-me-me-me yeah
It's all about me
Yeah, me
Just me,
Always me,
Me me me,
Me me me me me

I wear such flashy clothes
I LOVE (to make a show)
I give just to be seen
My love is just a scene (it’s obscene)
I cut in front of you (that’s right)
I’m so entitled to (It’s my right)
I’ll take it and never say a word
my consideration is never stirred

Horizons all so near
It’s all inside of here
I never see the whole
I never see a soul
Same old tune is heard
All around the world
A center blue and cold
A sin so true and old

I mock the other’s way
cry foul when they do the same
I’m so insensitive
(and oh so sensitive)
I trample other men
I walk on top of them
My love is clear for all to see
the one I love most of all is me
