Lyrics
(Malevolent criminal, I)

(When the vision paints my mind)

(Cross the invisible line)

(And you'll be paid in kind)

[REPEAT]

HIT IT!

HA HA

HA HA

HA HA

Criminal

The suffering

It makes me think like a

Criminal

The suffering

When we're alone

Criminal

The suffering

It makes me feel like a

Criminal

The suffering

When we're alone

Typical enough for me

That I burn inside in agony

What power will enable me

TO bury my vision

The hunger coming over me

As I learn to hide the agony

To make a final remedy

To close the door once and for all

[CHORUS]

In a world that I don't want to know

With a message that I never want to send

To be free from all of this

I want you to quicken my end

Don't tell me I can not go

With a wound that refuses to mend

Deliver me from all of this

I want you to quicken my end

(it seems the whole experience is)

Terrible and crippling

The pain is much more than

Physical beyond belief

When we're alone

Typical enough for me

And I burn inside in agony

What power will enable me

To make this decision

Despair has fallen over me

No way to hide the agony

Embracing my calamity

To save myself once and for all

[CHORUS]

Now you want to know

You want a name

You want to call me motherf*cker

Now you want to know

You want a name

You want to say it doesn't matter

Now you want to know

You want a name

You want to call me motherf*cker

Now you want to know

You want a name

You want to say it doesn't matter now

Now you wanna know

Now you wanna name

Now you wanna place

Now you wanna time

Now you want it all

Now you wanna know

Now you wanna name

Now you wanna place

Now you wanna time

Now you want it all

Now

In a world that I don't want to know

With a message that I never want to send

To be free from all of this

I want you to quicken my end

Don't tell me I can not go

With a wound that refuses to mend

Deliver me from all of this

I want you to quicken my end

Don't say that it isn't so

I'm on a path that you'll never comprehend

Set me free from all of this

I need you to quicken my end
