Periphery - The Bad Thing lyrics
rate me(Verse)
Sometimes there's a crack in the world that I can peer through
& see it fo' what it really is
There’s an ugly face starin' back at demons of everyone
They draw the hatred from inside of me
There were times at the top of the Earth that I wish that I could throw
Everyone & everythin', watch surroundin' symphonies of the hypocrites
I gave it in the thought of it
(Bridge)
Severed dreams of all the weak, quenchin' thirst inside o' me
& the scream it holds the key, unlockin' this for all to see
Fly past the trees, ascend to holy air & breathe
Far from the leaves, transcend these earthly boundaries
Fly past the trees, ascend to holy air & breathe
Far from the leaves, transcend the fuckin' boundaries
(Chorus)
& is it this desire that you're lookin' for?!
Or is insanity knockin' at yo door?!
& give me just a peace & surely you will find
Everythin' is betta on the otha side
But can you look within & find what is in store?
This life is but a scream that has become yo whore
It's tearin' a hole inside, you'll bury yo life
(Verse 2)
Sometimes there's a hole in the Earth that I can slip through
To get away from the twistin' of tongues
There was a love I could greet without tearin' up
Feel the desire creepin' ova me
There were times at the top of the Earth that I wish that I could throw
Everyone & everythin', watch surroundin' symphonies of the hypocrites
Abatin' in the sight of it
(Bridge)
I’d like a reason just to help them bleed
Give me a reason, come on give it to me
Give me a reason, fuckin' give me a reason
Ah-Ah give me a reason, come on give it to me
Fly past the trees, far from the leaves
Fly past the trees, ascend to holy air & breathe
Far from the leaves, transcend the earthly boundaries
(Chorus)
& is it this desire that you're lookin' for?
Or is insanity knockin' at yo door?
& give me just some peace & surely you will find
Everythin' is betta on the otha side
But can you look within & find what is in store?
This life is but a scream that has become yo whore
It's tearin' a hole inside, you'll bury yo life
Yeah, there’s a crack in the Earth
There’s a crack in the Earth, yeah
I’d like a reason just to help them bleed
Give me a reason, come on give it to me
