________ Songtext
von Crippled Black Phoenix

I am not what you say I am
I will not be what you tell me to be
You stare at me through a prism of delusion
Of hatred, of propaganda
And I refuse to see myself in your lies
You try to turn me into a barroom anecdote
A whispered slur
A vile fairy tale to fool the gullible
But I will not be the mirror for your self-loathing
You use accusations as weapons
Scarring me where no blade can pierce
But I will not plead guilty to your crimes
I will not perform a spastic puppet dance


To the lying chorus of your psyche
And yet
Hurt me enough and you will see
Spread your disease amongst my friends, my family, my loved ones
And you will learn
You will learn what I can be
They say a lunatic is simply a minority of one
I will embrace that madness
That loneliness, that hopeless insanity
And show you
I′ll show you everything you never wanted to see
And I'll finally be
What you never truly wanted me to be
