Cult Leader

Truly you are something more deceptive
 While posturing as something more serene
 You're feigning purity with an immaculate veneer
 To lure in your congregation
 Blessed are the ones in your favor
 Lost are those upon a different path
 Retribution served without relenting
 The penitent deserving of your wrath
 Realign the past so it's convenient
 Help them realize who they can't trust
 Introducing guilt replacing reason
 Manipulate with fear so they can't judge
 If this is normal
 This is normal
 This is normal
 This is normal
 I didn't ask for your screaming
 The disdain that you poured on me
 You're withholding unfeeling
 But you take when that's what you want to be
 Poisoned words and despair
 Cause that's all that you were
 Every sound defeating
 An apostate retreating
 I was once a vessel for your bidding
 Pining just to dedicate my love
 I was once so trusting and committing
 Giving into everything you judged
 Gradually I realized the pattern
 Cautiously I pleaded for no more
 Desperate I attempted to maintain worth
 But you excommunicate me from your world
 There is no compromise
 I am compromised
 There is no compromise
 I am compromised
 There is no compromise
 I am compromised
 There is no compromise
 I am compromised
