[Verse 1]
Black, dirty teeth, in the crease
Was the proof too good to be believed?
It's the c*nt with the tongue
Who belongs on broken knees
So far, it occurs to me that everybody in the world is
Afraid of me
Just one more sin and down we go
But the news is out and I think I'm going to
k** myself, or f** myself, or tell nyself about the only thing that matters now
[Chorus 1]
We bury what we fear the most —
Approaching original violence
Is the silence where you hide it?
‘Cause I don't recognize you anymore
To each his own… Life can do with one less watered-down excuse
…If this is over, you can tell me it's no use
USE- JUST TELL ME IT'S OVER
[Verse 2]
Today, we will deceive our better selves into
Assimilating pain from something else
Put on your face and show me why
Behind the scenes we had to simply comply
Now, the community doesn't feel any better than it used to be
I want to be a judge in a criminal case — you covered up
Did you cultivate?
Be yourself, not yourself
Know yourself. ‘Cause no one seems to know you now
[Chorus 2]
We carry what we can't control —
Approaching original violence
In the silence, there's a nihilist… who doesn't care and never did
To each his own… Life can do with one less watered-down excuse
…There comes a time where we can't take the same abuse
…If this is over, you can tell me it's no use…
USE
[Verse 3]
Drug out, pissed on, everything's the same
b**h and moan, it doesn't matter, nothing's going to change
I don't want to watch another brother f**ing die — so discarded, fallen by the side —
Don't tell me it's the only way — just another reason why you never take the bait
The trials, the scheming, the Burden of the Beast
Both your faces turn your back on everything you fought to save a dream
Now that it's over… when this is over…
[Chorus 3]
We are the angels' fear to tread
Approaching original violence
We're the silence. We'll deny it. We can't continue on like this
To each his own… Life can do with one less watered-down excuse
…There comes a time where we can't take the same abuse
My God, it would've taken just one word to stay from you
Now that this is over, you can tell me it's no use…
Now that this is over, you can tell me it's no use…
USE — JUST TELL ME IT'S OVER
[Outro]
It doesn't matter what you say. It doesn't matter what you do
We can't continue on like this
