I Am

Album: Murdered Love (2012)

  • I am the murderer, the pervert, sick to the core
    I am the unclean, dope fiend, I am the whore
    I am the beat down, mistreated, sexually abused
    I have violated, fornicated and sexually used
    I am the con artist, cold-hearted, smooth preacher
    Cash stealer, emotion bleeder, the soul leecher
    Feed off the poor but I'm a slave to the rich
    I'm in depression so, this reflection is making me sick

    Are you the one that's come to set me free?
    'Cause if you knew who I am, would you really want to die for me?
    They say you are the cursed man, the one who hangs from this tree
    I know this is the one and only son of God, so tell who the fuck is he

    I am fake, a fraud, a phony, I'm a known liar
    Anorexic, rejected object of your desire
    Suicidal thoughts, keep one in the chamber
    I'm a turned out street walking heroin banger
    I am a secret cutter, porn lover, the town drunkard
    Next door, neighborhood slut, I am somebody's mother
    Outcasted arrogant bastard son
    I am the talk of the town but this story's just begun

    Are you the one that's come to set me free?
    'Cause if you knew who I am, would you really want to die for me?
    They say you are the cursed man, the one who hangs from this tree
    But I know you are the one and only son of God, then tell who the fuck is he
    So what is he
    So tell me

    And now it's spreading like a deadly disease
    And now it's spreading like a deadly disease
    And now it's spreading like a deadly disease
    But I won't let you bury me
    Woo

    I am
    I am what you've reaped, I am what you've sowed
    I am that guy talking to himself, I am alone
    I'm the forgotten child, ravaged and raped through sex traffic
    Since I'm a little strange, daddy called me a faggot
    I am insecure, immature, even I disgust me
    In denial, pill poppin', prescription junkie

    Are you the one that's come to set me free?
    'Cause if you knew who I am, would you really want to die for me?
    They say you are the cursed man, the one who hangs from this tree
    But I know this is the one and only son of God, then tell who the fuck is he
    So what is he

    I see demons, eyes bleeding, my soul impure
    Already know that I'm diseased, but tell me what's the cure?
    This is me, we are him, and I am you
    Old things pass away and all becomes new
    This is me, we are him, and I am you
    Old things pass away and all becomes new
    This is me, we are him, and I am you
    Old things pass away and all becomes new Writer/s: Howard Benson, Marcos Curiel, Mark Traa Daniels, Noah C. Bernardo, Paul Sandoval
