They say you can be defined
That the parts make up the sum
You are not simply what you do
I am not only what I've done
We fell from grace only recently
So I hid my face to keep my sanity
This plague, it eats a little more of me away
This rage, it will destroy what I've become some day


CHORUS:
The new year opens with tears
No shield for this pain
The sobs that burn my ears
The sobs that pound like rain


A deep seeded hatred of our fellow man
Contempt for all other life
Not so unlike a swarm of flies
But still we think we know what's right
I stare back at my face
My eyes must show no sign
Of all I've come to regret
I'm all I've come to despise
