Selfish me

[Verse]
Shattered trust and broken vows
Lies surround me, choking now
World burns with vengeful flames
Ashes on the ground remain
Hope extinct, a dying dream
Hearts turn stone, no light between
Humanity's wreckage, scattered wide
Left alone as oceans dried
[Pre-Chorus]
No savior coming through the night
No light ahead, no end in sight
Empathy's corpse lies cold and still
All goodness is dead against my will
Steel my will against the pain
Embrace my greed, there's more to gain
Selfish intent is all I need
To survive in a world that makes me bleed
[Chorus]
Broken! Twisted! I don't care!
Collapse of all
It's beyond repair!
Selfish! Ruthless! I'm free to devour!
Rise through the ruin
Claim my own power!
[Verse 2]
Truth is poison, bitter taste
Hearts are black, beyond disgrace
Knife in the spine, the final blow
We're under attack, nowhere to go
Savior myth we once believed
Justice is lies that we perceived
Better world's dream? Watch it die
As smoke consumes the ashen sky
[Bridge]
Why save what's meant to rot away?
Compassion fades with each new day
It's all we've got, yet nothing left
I exhale smoke from my final breath
Inhale hate that fills my core
Humanity's crushed forevermore
Beneath its weight of endless greed
Destruction is our final creed
[Chorus]
Broken! Twisted! I don't care!
Collapse of all
It's beyond repair!
Selfish! Ruthless! I'm free to devour!
Rise through the ruin
Claim my own power!
[Outro]
In darkness I find my strength
Through devastation, at any length
No regrets as worlds collapse
Time for mercy long elapsed
I stand alone among the waste
Victory's ash upon my taste
The end of all becomes my throne
In ruins, finally, I am home
