[I HATE YOU BUT I HATE MYSELF MORE - LYRICS]

Standing on the outside I can see it won’t be long
Before you rise up from the ashes and proclaim yourself a god
And when you did those things did you feel any guilt at all?
I can see you’re happy with yourself but who will miss you when you’re gone?

{Chorus}
I hate you, but I hate myself more and if the surface world gets interesting I’ll dig up from the core
The pressure is building up today but if you want to we can close our eyes let darkness light our way

Now I’m standing in a hotel room in Washington DC
Looking in the mirror trying to face the person staring back at me
And I know I’m just a sinner making fires to be seen
But in due time I’ll become the monster I was always meant to be

{Chorus}
I hate you, but I hate myself more and if the surface world gets interesting I’ll dig up from the core
The pressure is building up today but if you want to we can close our eyes let darkness light our way

{Bridge 1}
And I’ll fight you till the end just like we did before
Stop trying to pretend this isn’t what you live for
Your hatred poisons me but I will drink it all
And I will be the one that brings you down

{Bridge 2}
Call my name, remind me I’m alive, save me from this hell
Lead me to a place where I can hide

{Chorus}
I hate you, but I hate myself more and if the surface world gets interesting I’ll dig up from the core
The pressure is building up today but if you want to we can close our eyes let darkness light our way

{Last Chorus}
Pretending, that everything's alright is a such a good way to destroy yourself
Break down from the inside
(You) went down when you told yourself that lie
Now tell me does it make you feel good to be killed by your own pride?
