Lyrics The Bad Thing - Periphery

The Bad Thing

Sometimes there’s a crack in the world that I can peer through
To see it for what it really is
There’s an ugly face staring back, demons are everywhere
They draw the hatred from inside of me
There are times at the top of the Earth that I wish I could throw
Everyone and everything
Watch the mountains snap the necks of the hypocrites
I’m bathing in the thought of it
The severed dreams of all the weak
Quenching thirsts inside of me
And the scream it holds the key
Unlocking this for all to see
Fly past the trees, ascend to holy air and breathe
Far from the leaves, transcend these earthly boundaries
So fly past the trees, ascend to holy air and breathe
Far from the leaves, transcend the fucking boundaries
And is it this desire that you’re looking for?
Or is insanity is knocking at your door?
Yeah, give me just a piece and surely you will find
Everything is better on the other side
But can you look within and find what is in store?
This life is but a scream that has become your whore
It’s tearing a hole inside (you're buried alive!)
Sometimes there’s a hole in the Earth that I can slip through
To get away from the twisting of tongues
It looks a lot like a grave when I’m staring up
Feeling the soil creeping over me
There were times at the top of the Earth that I wished I could throw
Everyone and everything
Watch the mountains snap the necks of the hypocrites
I’m bathing in the thought of it
I’d like a reason just to help them bleed
Give me a reason, come on give it to me
Give me a reason, fucking 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 and breathe
Far from the leaves, transcend these earthly boundaries
And is it this desire that you’re looking for?
Or is insanity is knocking at your door?
Yeah, give me just a piece and surely you will find
Everything is better on the other side
But can you look within and find what is in store?
This life is but a scream that has become your whore
It’s tearing a hole inside (you're buried alive!)
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
