Lyrics

Exist

[Verse 1]

I'll take it for what it is

'Cause I will live

One way or another

I am the queen of my own domain

Always looking for that scapegoat

I slaughtered it long ago

Painted myself in its blood

I'm becoming the excuse

So tired of it

[Chorus]

This is hell

I'm living in

This is hell

Inside of me

I've created my own personal jail

My festering thoughts makes it hard just to simply exist

[Verse 2]

See this for what it is

This is hell

I've been nailed to the floor

My door's been marked with a cross

Beat down what is positive

This is a one-sided fight

Bleeding out, bleeding dry

I hold the key to control

It's the only way

[Chorus]

This is hell

I'm living in

This is hell

Insidе of me

I've creatеd my own personal jail

My festering thoughts makes it hard to just simply exist

[Post-Chorus]

Simply exist

Simply exist

Simply exist

Simply exist

[Bridge]

There's no light on the other side

This is all there is

Will you take the beating? Will you submit?

My answer every time

No

[Outro]

See this for what it is

This is hell

See this for what it is

This is hell

See this for what it is

This is hell

See this for what it is

This is hell

This is hell

Fucking right

This is hell

This is hell

This is hell

This is hell

This is hell

This is hell

This is hell
