Reclaim My Place Lyrics

[Intro]
What the fuck?

[Verse 1]
I'm so numb, therefore I can't relate
I'm so dumb, there is nothing to hate
Really, is it me or is it fate?
Give me peace or release for fuck's sake

[Chorus]
Give them something to say
Something super fly, never played
All I hear is disgrace
Erase them all and reclaim my place

[Verse 2]
In the past, I was known as a freak
Had no friends, picked on 'cause I was weak
Save my ass, I got into this band
Never thought the band would pick on the man

[Chorus]
Give them something to say
Something super fly, never played
All I hear is disgrace
Erase them all and reclaim my place
[Post-Chorus]
Reclaim my place
Reclaim my place
Reclaim my place
Say it to my face

[Interlude]
So I look around at all these stupid little faces
Something I can never slap, but I embrace
You'll never ever see, you'll never ever be
You want to fuck around, then come on, fuck with me
You think you can relate? You'll never ever find
You think you feel my hate? Look at me and you will find
My fate you always raped, I will always be the sound
You want to fuck with me? Come on, fucking play

[Bridge]
Now you can feel it, my heart beats down
Yes, you feel it come right now
You can feel it, my heart beats down
Yes, you feel it come right now
You can feel it, my heart beats down
Yes, you feel it come bow down
Bow down
Bow down
Bow down
[Chorus]
Give them something to say
Something super fly, never played
All I hear is disgrace
Erase them all and reclaim my place

[Outro]
What the fuck?
What the fuck? (So)
What the fuck?
What the fuck? (So)
What the fuck?
What the fuck?
What the fuck?
What the fuck?
What the fuck?
What the fuck?
What the fuck?
What the fuck?
