about

Examination of how individuals, jealous of someone's stature or relationships, will use lies and treachery to try and destroy their reputation and assume their position in a group. The song also presents a solution of taking the 'higher road' by letting these individuals tear themselves down once everyone begins to see through their lies.

lyrics

So caustic, and uncontrolled.
A human parasite - Corrosive.
Self subsistent to make it whole.
Consuming - Depleting all it knows.

Don't admit you envy me.
Can't you see I'm everything?
All the things you wanna be.
All the things you try..
All the things you'll never be...

Give it time and they will see right through you.
Give it time and anxiety consumes you.
Give it time and you will regret what you have said
Give it time and I will watch you break.

Dilute the verity by twisting words.
Assume defensive when the tables turned.
Build your fortress to protect your lies,
a place of solace for you to fume out.
Build those walls to keep the truth outside,
but in the end those walls will be your tomb.

Don't admit you envy me.
Can't you see I'm everything?
All the things you wanna be.
All the things you try..
All the things you'll never be...

Give it time and they will see right through you.
Give it time and anxiety consumes you.
Give it time and you will regret what you have said
Give it time and I will watch you break.

You act like me in fantasy.
You envy me in vanity.
I'm all you see you'll never be.
You can't compare one shred to me.
You try to be to copy me.
Spread your lies but they will see.
You're nothing but a fraud to be
exposed and left in misery.

The more you try and take it,
the more they see you fake it.
My lack of retort you've mistaken,
as someone week and taken.
I just know you can't win,
as long as I don't give in.
As long as I remain myself,
I know that's something...
You'll never be..
You know..
You know..
You'll never be.

Give it time and they will see right through you.
Give it time and anxiety consumes you.
Give it time and you will regret what you have said
Give it time and I will watch you break.
