The One You Hate Lyrics

The One You Hate (Lyons/Rogers/Mercer lyrics by Lyons)

Taking what you need to survive
To live off the ones you hate
A never ending cycle repeated
Too blind to care that you're dying

You've sold your souls for a quick return
What's left is nothing, nothing but the fear
Blaming everyone, never blame yourselves
It helps to ease the fear you feel

Drowning the sorrow in addiction
And feeding the young with your poison
Beaten and hated and cast aside
And no one there to ease your cries

Masking the contempt you've felt
It's been building up for all these years
Only you can pull yourself out
Out of the hole you're buried in

No more than a leech spewing misguided speech

Blaming me for what's torn you apart?
It wasn't me, the decision was all yours
You saw the life you wished you had
Did it taste like you thought it would?

Looking outside is easier than within
Someone else came and took it all away?
When the time arrives, will you arise?
Or kneel at the feet of the one you hate?
