Surrogate - Contrition

What wreckage did your misconceptions lead you into?

This debris is all because of you

The flames are spreading to new heights at a greater pace

Smoke is filling my lungs and I can’t see out

I am built from the scraps and pieces

Cast away from the commonly used

What would you expect from a thing like me

When is the right time to stand against

Are you willing to leave it all behind

I’d step away, then again I live for this

I won’t bother you with any notion of sympathy

Though I know you’d probably crumble if I did

My worth is far beneath you I’m willing to guess

Born equal or not, I figured as much

I can feel your heart beating faster now

It’s too late to revoke the disaster you’ve caused

Go back

You’re not welcome here

I won’t fight for your sake

Pretending to have a stake in the fate of others

Doesn’t a peaceful world make

I’ll never let you see

Chains brought upon me

You don’t stand a chance

To be all that they need

Therefore I stand

Forever to be on my own
