Oedipus - Burn It Down (Rethinked)

Good God, working the grind.
I'm making less, geting nothing, coming up from behind.
I'm on the outside.
I'm refusing to lose.
I've got to drive to survive. Keeps me lighting the fuse.

I've got an earful of your flattering lies.
You're getting cut because you never look me straight in the eyes.
I'm at the apex.
Yeah, I'm thinning the herd.
I've got to fight to incite because I find you absurd.

And since you're not even listening,
I'm burning it down!
Sacrifice is mandatory.
I am going to make you sorry.

Beat down.
Blood in my mouth.
You like to watch as i squirm, trying to fight my way out.
I've got to bleed, feed, yes I'm picking up speed.
You've got to get out the way because I'm taking the lead.

And since you're not even watching me,
I'm burning it down!
Sacrifice is mandatory.
I am going to make you sorry.

You smile like you have something to hide.
Every laugh is rehearsed.
Every handshake's a lie.

I'm burning it down!
Sacrifice is mandatory.
I am going to make you sorry.
