Thoughtless Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Thumbing through the pages of my fantasies
Pushing all the mercy down, down, down

I wanna see you try to take a swing at me
Come on, gonna put you on the ground, ground, ground

Why are you trying to make fun of me?
You think it's funny? What the fuck you think it's doing to me?

You take your turn lashing out at me
I want you crying with your dirty ass in front of me

[Chorus]
All of my hate cannot be bound
I will not be drowned
By your thoughtless scheming
So you can try to tear me down
Beat me to the ground
I will see you screaming

[Verse 2]
Thumbing through the pages of my fantasies
I'm above you, smiling at you, drown, drown, drown
I wanna kill and rape you the way you raped me
And I'll pull the trigger and you're down, down, down

Why are you trying to make fun of me?
You think it’s funny? What the fuck you think it’s doing to me?
You take your turn lashing out at me
I want you crying with your dirty ass in front of me
[Chorus]
All of my hate cannot be bound
I will not be drowned
By your thoughtless scheming
So you can try to tear me down
Beat me to the ground
I will see you screaming

[Bridge]
All my friends are gone, they died
Gonna take you down
They all screamed and cried
Gonna take you down

I've got my body, got my body back against the wall
I've got my body, got my body back against the wall

Gonna take you down
I've got my body, got my body back against the wall
I've got my body, got my body back against the wall
Gonna take you down

I've got my body, got my body back against the wall
I've got my body, got my body back against the wall
Gonna take you down
I've got my body, got my body back against the wall
I've got my body, got my body back against the wall
[Chorus]
All of my hate cannot be bound
I will not be drowned
By your thoughtless scheming
So you can try to tear me down
Beat me to the ground
I will see you screaming

All of my hate cannot be bound
I will not be drowned
By your thoughtless scheming
So you can try to tear me down
Beat me to the ground
I will see you screaming

  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
