I Am lyrics

[Verse 1]

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

[Chorus]

Are you the one that's come to set me free?

Cause if you knew who I am, would you really wanna 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, so tell me, who the fuck is he?

[Verse 2]

I am fake, fraud, phony, I'm a known liar

Anorexic, rejected object of your desire

Suicidal thoughts keep one in the chamber

I'm a turned out streetwalking heroin banger

I am a secret cutter, porn lover, the town drunkard

Next door, neighborhood slut, I'm somebody's mother

Outcasted, arrogant, bastard son

I'm the talk of the town but this story has just begun

[Chorus]

Are you the one that's come to set me free?

Cause if you knew who I am, would you really wanna 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, but tell me, who the fuck is he?

[Post-Chorus]

So tell me

So tell me!

[Bridge]

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!

[Verse 3]

I am

I am what you've reaped, I am what you've sewed

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, my daddy called me a faggot

I am insecure, immature, even I disgust me

In denial, pill poppin', prescription junkie

[Chorus]

Are you the one that's come to set me free?

Cause if you knew who I am, would you really wanna 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, but tell me, who the fuck is he?

[Post-Chorus]

So tell me

[Outro]

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
