I Loathe - Neaera

I am the thorns that pierce you

I am the leaves that heal

I am the thorns that guide you

I am the pain that heals

I am the thorns that pierce you

I am the leaves that heal

I am the thorns that guide you

I am the pain that heals

It is lies that we seek

Illusions that we need

The only way to survive

Is humbly closing our eyes

I loathe

The dumbing down, manipulation

Decry

The tools of the trade that make us kneel

I fear

The end of the circle, the all-in-vain

Detest

What you sell as the truth, as critical thought

No more

I will swallow your waste, your selfless Is

From what you preach to survive
