Try to break me down
you cant break me
wont tell u how
please dont take me.

How can you do this?
how can you kill?
please tell me how
but you never will.

I cant stand this
trainwreck in my head
yeah you know what I want,
I want you dead.

Do you have to do this?
do you have to be so cruel?
you Nazi soldier,
you f****** fool.
