So Below

Well, it's now such a cliche, but needs to be said The world only cares if you're pretty or dead If you don't fit in the standard mold, You'll find you're hated and feared I hide all my weakness, each a skeleton in the closet But could I break open this shell? I'll be honest, when I speak of it, all the words Just seem the be plastic How much more do they think I can give Until I'm just bones on the floor? Pull me closer to the edge And yet somehow they'll still want some more Why does it seem we get on our knees For those who push us to the ground? How could one "just let it go" When you're cursed and so below? I prayed, and I prayed until my spirit decayed How can one be left with nothing, and nothing left to blame? And when I needed God the most, I found He wasn't around So I learned to just sedate, it couldn't feel much worse I wear all these masks to throw you off my course I can't figure out if it's you or me I am hiding from How much more do they think I can give Until I'm just bones on the floor? Pull me closer to the edge And yet somehow they'll still want some more Why does it seem we get on our knees For those who push us to the ground? How could one "just let it go" When you're cursed and so below? I won't be a victim, I won't be a waste I won't give my life, to prove your wicked case I'll accept the hate you say I deserve I'll accept the hate you say I deserve I won't be a victim, I won't be a waste I'm sick of your slander, get out of my face I accept the hate, you say I deserve I accept the hate, you say I deserve But when you die, please just know We're waiting down below You say I'm unholy, but what does that make you?
