Pariahs
Nurtured by no one
Shunned and cast away
Left out like rats in the rain
Damaged cells assimilate
Lost souls will aggregate
Broken
We’ll never be your saviours
Pariahs
We took the fall for your failures
The bastard sons and daughters
The lambs that strayed from slaughter
So now you want in?
But now you need answers?
Cauterised the wounds and now nothing stands between us?
No bonds broken
No love lost
There was nothing to lose
You never had our trust
So sharpen the axe
We pulled arrows from our backs
Learned to breathe through suffocating hands
Baptised in flames no one could stand
I know how it feels
We slipped through the cracks
Covered in ash
We bathed in the ashes
I’ve seen that look
In your eyes
Behind mine
Broken
We’ll never be your saviours
Pariahs
We took the fall for your failures
The bastard sons and daughters
And you can’t fucking take this from us
