lyrics

I’d like to start by saying I’ve scraped by every stage of my life
I’m emotionally ready to be your sacrifice
I’m burned by the bitterness of illiterate rivalries
and I’m tortured by the idiots in rule of the country

So push me down to my limit
I’m never backing down
Verities lay above you
but you’re too low to tell the truth
So bury me if you have to
but just know I’ve figured out how
I’m living out my legacy
and your vices are to be proved

I’ve been training to be honest for the entirety of my life
and the truth will set me free
and you’ll be the sacrifice
If exposed for your treason we all know there will be a mutiny
So engage for a war, there’s a war within the country

So push me down to my limit
I’m never backing down
verities lay above you
but you’re too low to tell the truth
so bury me if you have to
but just know I’ve figured out how
I’m living out my legacy
and your vices are to be proved
