    Lyrics
    toxic prodigy

    they tried to mold me into shape when i was young
    i’d be the greatest of the greats, so they said
    year after year the teachers preached what they don’t know
    passed on tradition to a child with no regard

    seeds of rebellion cultivate beneath the tongue
    like fallen angels we say, “we are already dead”
    trapped in a building engineered on my own
    unsatisfied with living lies and false facades

    waking my cancer cells
    it’s eating me inside out
    furious sleeps alone
    jealous as it may come
    crash...don’t think i wanna play anymore

    nothing’s wrong...all is calm
    carousel...almost done

    i’m running out of things to do and i find myself
    drifting off to space
    i’m running out of things to say, it’s so uncomfortable
    did i tell you this?

    so i let you go
    did you compromise?
    yeah you had your chance

    my best friends, they don’t know
    me oh my, what am i to do?
