Illuminate
by: MnemicInto the fire again, I'll light it up
Deadly with venom and sin, your time is up
I'll poison your mind, you'll poison yourself
With things you can't find, no, you can't find
I can't see frustration within me
And you're on your knees again and so are you
Want to escape my hand, I'll take you down
I rule your every move, no, I rule you
You're tempted by groove and you by sound
I really need this, I'm pushing the sticks
Right into myself, I got no way to control this
I need the pain more than anything, I need to feel I'm alive
You're bleeding 'cuz of me, you're bleeding yourself
You'll pay the devils fee but the devil is me
The veins in my arm and the veins in mine
Are on overload, they will explode, I will explode, I'm
So many times I've taken the wrong road
And still I control you, the essence of revenge
Is not in you, it's in me and I don't need it
I swear if I go down I'll take you with me
There's a blow right to your face, what a violent entry
Can you feel me in your head? I know what you need
You need my pain and everything you lose I seem to gain
I'll take it all, I will explode, I hurt you 'cuz I really need this, I'm
So many times I've taken the wrong road
And still I control you, the essence of revenge
Is not in you, it's in me and I don't need it
I swear if I go down I'll take you with me
There's a blow right to your face, what a violent entry
Can you feel me in your head? I know what you need
You need my pain and everything you lose I seem to gain
