You'll Be Your Own Demise (And I'll Be Laughing The Whole Time)

Every time you see me
You make sure to beat me
And every time I try to break free
You make sure you're still on top

Beating me
Hurting me
Mocking me

They tell me to rise above you
And let you suffer in your own homemade pain
But every time I look at you
I'm forced to see what you've done to me

Beat me
Hurt me
Mock me

I don't think I'll ever understand
How it's okay for you to treat me like you do
But I'm not even allowed to fight back
You make it so hard for me to hold true to what I believe in

So keep
Beating me
Hurting me
Mocking me

Cause I still can't see through your eyes
I still can't feel the hatred you harbor
How can you even complain
When you've always gotten your way

So why do you
Beat me
Hurt me
Mock me

When I've done nothing wrong
I guess it is my fault I was ever born
You must have had it so nice
When you didn't have to share your perfect life
It must be so hard to be
Older
Braver
Stonger

So
Beat me
Hurt me
Mock me

But I can see you're just afraid
Of being upstaged
But don't you worry
For everything you've done to me

Has really worked

You
Beat me
Hurt me
Mocked me

But at least I can see the reasons why
I may not have found my own strength
But I sure have found your weakness

Just because you
Beat me
Hurt me
Mock me

Doesn't make you free
You'll be the one to suffer
When I find a way out
And all that'll be left for you to see
Is what you've done
The pain you've caused
To yourself

You may have
Beat me
Hurt me
Mocked me

But you're the one in pain
So I'll take their advice and rise above you
I'll let you find out for yourself
How much you can suffer through
When there's no one left to distract you

So how does it feel to be alone?
