Lyrics

[Verse 1]

There is no terror in my heart

Death is with us all

We suck him down with our first breath

And spit him out as we fall

There is no terror in my heart

No dread of the unknown

Desire for paradise to be

Shall we love this on our own

[Chorus 1][x2]

No I don't want you anywhere near me[x2]

Get your fucking world out of my head

[Chorus 2]

I don't want your "Us or them"

No I don't need your "Us or them"

Oh I don't want your "Us or them"

I don't need your "Us or them"

You're "Us or them"

[Verse 2]

I live in knowledge of real truth

And all my Gods are great!

The doleful can't of a bigot

Blinded by fear and hate

You live in knowledge of real truth?

Oh the biggest lie I heard

How sick in your mind and your soul

To be scared of my voice and my words

[Chorus 3]

You don't want me anywhere near you

You don't want me anywhere near you

Get my fucking head out of your world

You don't want me anywhere near you

You don't want me anywhere near you

Get my fucking head out of your world

[Chorus 2]

I don't want your "Us or them"

No I don't need your "Us or them"

Oh I don't want your "Us or them"

I don't need your "Us or them"

As the only way this ever ends is "Me"
