## Lyrics

Hello there my enemy

Welcome to my punching spree

This is where I lay waste and you

Go home bleeding

Didn't have to be this way

Should have stayed out of the fray

Now you're heading for a beating

Didn't mother warn you?

Now she's gonna mourn you

Being damaged's how you'll end this day

You're a big mess

Cuz I'm relentless

I gotta tell you I'm on fire today

Crash and burn

Some lessons are just hard to learn

Scathing eyes

That see things from only one side

Yet every misshapen spark

Suffers the judgment and pain

But just as light conquers dark

There's a beauty that's greater than

Pure symmetry can contain

So let's start the game!

Fool you shouldn't stare into these

Eyes of fire

You're goin' to regret

This little fight

You don't wanna mess with me I'm

Something higher

Anguish you'll know for your miserable plight

Soon you'll bemoan your mistake of a life

You'll watch yourself suffer

You'll watch me ignite

(Ruby: Yang!)

Usually I devastate

This time might annihilate

Any minute now you're gonna

Rue our meeting

Messing with my family

Means that soon you're history

The moments of your life are fleeting

Looking pretty tattered

Your blood is really splattered

Won't be long until I end this game

You're looking toothless

I'm feeling ruthless

Just watch me burn as you go down in flames

Ache and yearn

Can't wait for the pages to turn

Play both sides

When truth you cannot recognize

And any remarkable heart

Has gone through the hardship and shame

That's born of standing apart

From the easily processed

The uniform army of "same"

And that's just so lame!

I dominate and desecrate leave you in a foul state

Put you in the trash with that nonsense you perpetuate

Why you get me riled up? Don't you know I'm wild bruh?

Bet you'll understand when I'm p\*ssin' on your ashes huh

Told you I'm tortuous, when you feel the force of this

Blast you'll crash like a cardiac explosion bitch

Bloody body, broken nose, screw it it's a bloodbath

Try to get away but there's no escaping Alcatraz

Look what you made me do, told you I would slaughter you

Fools you lose, blood cold, ice water dude

Reach into my bag o' tricks hit you with the baddest licks

Ever, you'll never contend I win

Bringin' out the beast in me, challengin' my decency

Now I gotta ask, "do you really want a piece of me?"

Hope you ready for the pain, suffer when I hit your brain

Erase your essence from Earth no need to explain

Fool you shouldn't stare into these

Eyes of fire

You're goin' to regret

This little fight

You don't wanna mess with me I'm

Something higher

Anguish you'll know for your miserable plight

Soon you'll bemoan your mistake of a life

You'll watch yourself suffer

You'll watch me ignite
