From the recording Deserve
This song was originally conceived when I was in the band Sixty Cycle Hum with Howie Sennet, Troy Fleischauer and Joshua Fant. It has been updated here with my band OmniVoid.
Lyrics
Deserve
You do your best
To make me feel my worst
I know it’s all
That you’ve been taught from birth
You aim to please
But leave me feeling used
I try to hard and end up getting bruised
Tear down the mess that you’ve made
Take back control of your mind
Break up what barely remains
I don’t care what it takes
I’m going to stand up and scream
Until I’m finally heard
And push myself to extremes
To get what I deserve
A promise I’ve been denied
Won’t be the one left without
I’ll tear a hole from inside
And let the truth come out
You try like hell
To make me want to quit
I scratch and pull
But still can’t make it fit
Tear down the mess that you’ve made
Take back control of your mind
Break up what barely remains
I don’t care what it takes
I’m going to stand up and scream
Until I’m finally heard
And push myself to extremes
To get what I deserve
A promise I’ve been denied
Beyond a shadow of doubt
I’ll tear a hole from inside
And let the truth come out
Let the truth come out
