[Intro] Just look how I'm made... You starved the soil. Then you blamed the blade. DEPRIVED... DEPRAVED. [Verse 1] The cupboards were empty, the radiators cold Just a ghost of a kid doing what he was told No hand on my shoulder, no light in the hall Just the sound of the winter scraping the wall You watch from your tower, you judge what I lacked But a vessel that's empty is bound to get cracked [Chorus] I was DEPRIVED of the bread, so I learned how to steal I was DEPRIVED of the love, so I forgot how to feel Now you look at my hands, and you step back afraid You call me DEPRAVED, but look how I’m made Yeah, being DEPRIVED is what made me DEPRAVED [Verse 2] It starts with a shadow, it ends with a scar You don't ask for permission when you are what you are The rules that you wrote don't apply to the floor When you’re locked on the outside and kicking the door You call it a sin, I call it a meal When the world gives you nothing, the edges get real [Chorus] I was DEPRIVED of the bread, so I learned how to steal I was DEPRIVED of the love, so I forgot how to feel Now you look at my hands, and you step back afraid You call me DEPRAVED, but look how I’m made Yeah, being DEPRIVED is what made me DEPRAVED [Verse 3] There’s no use in crying, there’s no room for shame When the ashes are settled, we all taste the same I used to pray for a savior to open the gate But I traded my prayers for a pocket of hate Now I wear the corruption like armor and gold The warmest of hearts are the ones that turn cold [Pre-Chorus] You wound up the spring till it broke. Now you’re choking on all of my smoke. One, two, three—ready or not... Look at the monster I'm not. [Bridge] Who draws the line between villain and ghost? The ones who have plenty, or the ones who need most? If you put a wolf in a cage with no key Don't cry to the heavens when he turns out to be... A monster. [4 bar sparse Instrumental Interlude] [Chorus] I was DEPRIVED of the bread, so I learned how to steal I was DEPRIVED of the love, so I forgot how to feel Now you look at my hands, and you step back afraid You call me DEPRAVED, but look how I’m made Yeah, being DEPRIVED is what made me DEPRAVED [Outro] Just look how I’m made. You starved the soil, then you blamed the blade. DEPRIVED... DEPRAVED. monster I've created a monster Am i really that monster
