The Bad Thing - Periphery

Sometimes there’s a crack in the world that I can peer through

To see it for what it really is

There’s an ugly face staring back, demons are everywhere

They draw the hatred from inside of me

There are times at the top of the Earth that I wish I could throw

Everyone and everything

Watch the mountains snap the necks of the hypocrites

I’m bathing in the thought of it

The severed dreams of all the weak

Quenching thirsts inside of me

And the scream it holds the key

Unlocking this for all to see

Fly past the trees, ascend to holy air and breathe

Far from the leaves, transcend these earthly boundaries

So fly past the trees, ascend to holy air and breathe

Far from the leaves, transcend the fucking boundaries

And is it this desire that you’re looking for?

Or is insanity is knocking at your door?

Yeah, give me just a piece and surely you will find

Everything is better on the other side

But can you look within and find what is in store?

This life is but a scream that has become your whore

It’s tearing a hole inside (you're buried alive!)

Sometimes there’s a hole in the Earth that I can slip through

To get away from the twisting of tongues

It looks a lot like a grave when I’m staring up

Feeling the soil creeping over me

There were times at the top of the Earth that I wished I could throw

Everyone and everything

Watch the mountains snap the necks of the hypocrites

I’m bathing in the thought of it

I’d like a reason just to help them bleed

Give me a reason, come on give it to me

Give me a reason, fucking give me a reason

Ah-Ah give me a reason, come on give it to me

Fly past the trees

Far from the leaves

Fly past the trees, ascend to holy air and breathe

Far from the leaves, transcend these earthly boundaries

And is it this desire that you’re looking for?

Or is insanity is knocking at your door?

Yeah, give me just a piece and surely you will find

Everything is better on the other side

But can you look within and find what is in store?

This life is but a scream that has become your whore

It’s tearing a hole inside (you're buried alive!)

Yeah, there’s a crack in the Earth, there’s a crack in the Earth, yeah

I’d like a reason just to help them bleed

Give me a reason, come on give it to me
