[Intro]
Why the fuck you staring at me like I’m the disease?
Like my scars are yours to pick and squeeze
I tried to breathe, I tried to run
But every shadow says I’m the fucking one

[Verse 1]
Every rumor is a needle pushed into my back
Every grin is just a hidden fucking attack
You smile while you twist the knife slow
Act innocent, but you already know
You build a throne outta lies you spread
Then sit up high while I’m left for dead
Point your fingers, place the blame
Got my name rotting in your game
I held my tongue until it bled dry
While you laughed as my spirit died
Now I see through your pretty disguise
You feed on pain like it’s your prize

[Pre-Chorus]
You don’t want truth, you want a show
So paint me dirty for the world to know
Write your stories, twist the facts
Then play victim behind my back

[Chorus]
HOW COME YOU HUMANS WANNA DRAG ME THROUGH THE DIRT
DIG UP MY PAIN JUST TO WATCH IT HURT
SPIT ON MY NAME, GRIND IT IN THE GROUND
THEN ASK ME WHY I DON’T MAKE A FUCKING SOUND
HOW COME YOU HUMANS WANNA SEE ME BREAK
BET ON MY FALL LIKE IT’S YOUR STAKE
I’M NOT YOUR JOKE, I’M NOT YOUR TOY
FUCK YOUR NEED TO TRY DESTROY

[Verse 2]
You don’t care about what’s real inside
Just what you can use to feel satisfied
You thrive on chaos, thrive on shame
Pour the gasoline, then blame the flame
I gave respect, you gave me dirt
Gave you loyalty, you gave me hurt
Built me up just to watch me drop
Like my pain made your heartbeat pop
Your whisper campaigns rot the air
Your silent judgment everywhere
I hear your voices when I sleep
A venom that just cuts too deep

[Build]
Can’t escape your twisted view
No matter what the fuck I do
Every step I’m dragged again
By poisoned words from fake-ass friends

[Chorus]
HOW COME YOU HUMANS WANNA DRAG ME THROUGH THE DIRT
TEAR MY SOUL APART FOR ENTERTAINMENT AND WORK
I’M NOT YOUR SIN, I’M NOT YOUR BLAME
STOP CARVING ANGER INTO MY FUCKING NAME
HOW COME YOU HUMANS WANNA SEE ME BLEED
TURN MY LIFE TO YOUR DISEASE
YOU WANT A MONSTER TO IGNORE YOUR OWN
SO YOU DON’T HAVE TO FACE WHAT’S IN YOUR BONES

[Bridge]
You pretend it’s justice
You pretend it’s concern
But deep inside
You just wanna see me burn
You don’t want healing
You want control
You don’t want answers
You want a broken soul
WELL FUCK THAT,
I’M NOT YOUR SACRIFICE
I’M NOT YOUR FUCKING PRICE

[Breakdown]
DRAG ME
BREAK ME
TWIST ME
LIE ON ME
I RISE FROM THE FILTH YOU MADE
A CREATURE YOU’RE AFRAID
SO GO AHEAD
TRY AGAIN
YOU ONLY MAKE ME STRONGER IN THE END

[Final Chorus]
HOW COME YOU HUMANS WANNA DRAG ME THROUGH THE DIRT
WELL WATCH ME CRAWL OUT OF THE HURT
I’LL WEAR YOUR HATE AROUND MY CHEST
AS A FUCKING MARK THAT I SURVIVED THE TEST
HOW COME YOU HUMANS WANNA CUT ME DOWN
I’LL STAND IN BLOOD AND TAKE THE CROWN
YOUR SHAME, YOUR LIES, YOUR LITTLE GAME
WON’T BE THE END OF MY NAME

[Outro]
You tried to bury me in filth and doubt
But you forgot one fucking thing…
Seeds grow in dirt.

How Come you Humans Wanna Drag Me Through the Dirt
