Lyrics:

The rage inevitable
the hatred instilled the same
Beat in the bones of the fragile frame
Push the blame
see what's to gain
The scapegoat weeps
in blood soaked sheets
Been forcing out the tears
So numb to the pain
Been pushing it back for so long
Little remains
We should've seen this coming
From the fucking start
No empathy no remorse and no regrets

Further we go the further we regress
Try hiding just to be found
Keep fighting to try and drown out the sound This non stop battle starts now
Keep taking away from me
Keep draining me
Dry

Close my eyes and hope to fall asleep
Tonight
Driven to the point of no return

I hate to make it an excuse
But what's the use
Nothing seems to be going right
Can't escape the night

Do it

I
I am
I am the negative one
I am
I am the negative one
I am
I am the negative one
We are
We are the negative ones

The door slams shut
But no noise was made
We all fell silent
Caught in its wake

The monsters angry again
Another day
Another lashing
Another mistake
The monsters angry again
Another day
Another lashing
Another mistake

Like a vicious parasite
Relentlessly draining Dry
With every breathe you take
This is true misery
Constant state of apathy
Innocence stripped away

Negative ones
We have lost our way
Negative ones
Stuck in endlessly decay

The door slams shut
No noise was made
Another lashing
Another mistake
