Redeemer Lyrics


You envy the freak
I can see it in your eyes
No one is happy with this arrangement
How could we know
Any other way to live?
Well I’m not scared of you people no more
No shudders, shrieks or shivers
Left to give
Lies served cold
With a side of meanness
And we all laugh about it
In the right rooms with enough
Distance in between us

At the mirror’s edge
I see an evil genius
But hope still permeates
Even at a snail’s pace

Redeemer!
I had your phone
Now you’re clinging to your rosaries
Like a nun
Redeemer
You stole the sun
Now you orbit is the bullshit of the damage done

The Taoist monks had good intention
Playing doctor with what god’s got
Just watch divine intervention
Rattle through the bones
Of everybody that was ever shot

I wanna be a woman
So I can understand
But I don’t wanna know
What it’s like not to be free
I wanna be angry at the world
From a crippling disposition
To feel all the pain that I can see

And I’ll smash my head
In private against the wall
Denial thrives in hostile climates
Flat out lies climb chaos spires
As Rapunzel let’s down your tires
I start fights in my own head
Got doggy bags stuffed full of tapas
I take em home to feed the rugrat
Then set fire to your maracas

Redeemer!
I had your phone
Now you’re clinging to your rosaries
Like a nun
Redeemer
You stole the sun
Now you orbit is the bullshit of the damage done
