Purge

VERSE 1:
I feel it like a phantom limb
Long since severed.
Should I feel victorious?
For I have slain the oppressor.
Should I mourn you?
Another victim of my gluttonous dignity…
Or should I cast you out?
Like the pariah you made me…

Because you…leave me with nothing and you…

CHORUS:
OH YOU NAIL IT TO THE WALL
JUST TO WATCH THE PIECES FALL
OH YOU NAIL ME TO THE WALL
WATCH IT ALL FALL DOWN…

VERSE 2:
Ties in blood…
No such comfort.
(But) the institution
(Is) made to be necessary…

Just like it all.
Like everything that accosts you.
Like everything that will break you down.
Leave you broken, just like me…

Because the [bad word] left me with nothing and now…

CHORUS:
OH YOU NAIL IT TO THE WALL
JUST TO WATCH THE PIECES FALL
OH YOU NAIL ME TO THE WALL
WATCH IT ALL FALL DOWN…

BRIDGE:
IMMORTALIZE YOUR SELF
WHILE STANDING FACE FIRST IN YOUR ANGUISH
DRAWING POWER WHILE YOU LOOK THOSE [bad word] SADISTS
RIGHT STRAIGHT IN THE EYE…STRAIGHT IN THE EYE…

DEFINE YOURSELF, THE ANSWER TO, THE QUESTION THAT’S BEEN KILLING YOU…

PURGE…
