lyrics

pull me out and shine bright
looking into your eyes
i see what’s brought them all to their knees
there is thousands of years’
worth of taking away from the weak
and then crumbling at the feet of me

what can i do with all this progress i've made,
they're still chopping away
it's the truth this time
i swear i'm gonna tear you apart
dynasties upon the generations
upon the countries and cities
i've snuck past the system
i am your addictions, your wonder
your reason, your gifts
call me dollar, call me father
call me anything you want

’cause you're all mine now cracker
and i'll smack you around ‘til you see
i am god with blinding evil
i am the love and the hate
i'm the answer
i'm the answer
get on your knees
i'm the answer
i'm the answer
get on your knees

run with me safe within your pockets i burn
you have lied and loved every minute because
oh it's all worth the end
when you take everything
in this whole entire world
yeah, you've sugared the tanks

and the one thing you really need
has been drowned in the green
hell, the gleam's in your eyes,
but the fake is so loud you can't sleep
i'm the one thing that will crush you
and one thing you think that you need
i'm the nightmare
i'm the nightmare
get on your knees
i'm the nightmare
i'm your nightmares
now get on your knees
