BOY SETS FIRE LYRICS

"The Abominations Of Those Virtuous"

We rely on subtle points
And stabs at biting humor
To reveal our tired roles
Of slave and domination.

Who did you enlighten today?
Humiliate to sell your point of view?
Create an image for mass consumption
Insecurity as intellect.

See your soul in your eyes
Hope your trophies will not mind

I'm sick of this grain of salt
That I must take you with
I wanna lash out but I bite my lip
The talk gets older
And the lines get stale
Your chance at Godliness
Has already failed

You can't deny
Your thirst and drive
For your time in the spotlight

Why are you so damned sure
That you shut your friends out
I have learned to shut out
Every hateful word
You'll never see
The friends you've lost
From behind your transparent mask

I haven't grown to hate you
I've just grown to forget you
You label me with class rank and station
Your intellectual masturbation
You're absolutely intoxicated
By your own mouth running in circles
Your tongue always tends to lose it
Every chance you get, you abuse it
You have now spent a lifetime
Killing time.
Tow the line.
But your ego is drawn out for you

Throw your intellect like a brick
To make others feel so small
The more that you repeat
And the louder that you scream
The more that you are killing time

It's time

I'm sick and tired of your reaction
Why don't you shut the fuck up?

And when you discover
Just how easy it is to impress
Without demanding all the attention
For no reason
Maybe you'll believe me
Your own will to power
Has come back to haunt you.
