Arkangela - So Below

Well, it's now such a cliche, but needs to be said
The world only cares if you're pretty or dead
If you don't fit in the standard mold,
You'll find you're hated and feared
I hide all my weakness, each a skeleton in the closet
But could I break open this shell?
I'll be honest, when I speak of it, all the words
Just seem the be plastic

How much more do they think I can give
Until I'm just bones on the floor?
Pull me closer to the edge
And yet somehow they'll still want some more
Why does it seem we get on our knees
For those who push us to the ground?
How could one "just let it go"
When you're cursed and so below?

I prayed, and I prayed until my spirit decayed
How can one be left with nothing, and nothing left to blame?
And when I needed God the most, I found He wasn't around
So I learned to just sedate, it couldn't feel much worse
I wear all these masks to throw you off my course
I can't figure out if it's you or me I am hiding from

How much more do they think I can give
Until I'm just bones on the floor?
Pull me closer to the edge
And yet somehow they'll still want some more
Why does it seem we get on our knees
For those who push us to the ground?
How could one "just let it go"
When you're cursed and so below?

I won't be a victim, I won't be a waste
I won't give my life, to prove your wicked case
I'll accept the hate you say I deserve
I'll accept the hate you say I deserve
I won't be a victim, I won't be a waste
I'm sick of your slander, get out of my face
I accept the hate, you say I deserve
I accept the hate, you say I deserve
But when you die, please just know
We're waiting down below

You say I'm unholy, but what does that make you?
