Hate the World

[Verse 1]
My irrationality is like a nationality
I'd rather bear its flag I know
And of my sensitivities, yeah, some have taken liberties
But they are everything I know
Challenge all your empathy
Let's move it out at glacial speed
I'm running on persistence
And "Give it just a little time"
Is always the familiar line
So you have my resistance

[Chorus]
And I will not illuminate your words
I will persevere until it hurts
Give myself up all just to be heard
And I would not presume to hate the world

[Verse 2]
Walked me through the garden where
The weeds were growing everywhere
And running off their mouths
Who was it that watered you
That once were sons and daughters too?
So I can understand how you all came about

[Chorus]
And I will not illuminate your words
And I will persevere until it hurts
And give myself up all just to be heard
I would not presume to hate the world

[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus]
Oh, I will not illuminate your words
And I will persevere until it hurts
Oh, give myself up all just to be heard
And I would not presume to hate the world
