Them

With all of this hate and pain in my eyes
How do you ask me not to pray for my demise?
With all of their invisible x-ray stares
And all of the hatred packed into their glares

They're wishing and hoping that I'll lose it all
They're watching and waiting to see me fall
My tears escape, falling in hate
I can't cave in and fall into their fate

Somebody's waiting to take my place
Somebody's waiting for me to lose the race

They see right through me when I succeed
But when I fail they all watch me bleed
Not realizing how their doubts take a toll
Every stare, every word, every bit of hate tearing at my soul

Here I am, all alone I stand
And with no one by my side I hold my own hand
I walk myself through all your hate and fire
Not trusting anyone cuz everyone's a liar

I don't trust you, I don't trust me, I'm living just to die
Don't question anything, don't ask me why

Let me ask them, why do they hate me?
How can they judge what they can't even see?

All their hate and doubt is a weight on my shoulder, a tear through my heart
Leaving me confused with nowhere to start

Their hate is unnoticed and I don't want their love
Because every time I move in I'm pushed away with their shove

I don't need any of them; I'll do it on my own
Being without nurture is all I've ever known
