(Words: Nicky Wire/Richey James; Music: James Dean Bradfield/Sean Moore)

I hate purity
Hate goodness
I don t want virtue to exist anywhere
I want everyone corrupt

I am an architectthey call me a butcher
I am a pioneerthey call me primitive
I am puritythey call me perverted
Holding you but I only miss these things when they leave

I am idiot drug hivethe virginthe tattered and the torn
Life is for the cold made warm and they are just lizards
Self-disgust is self-obsession honey and I do as I please
A morality obedientonly to the cleansed repented

I am stronger than MensaMiller and Mailer
I spat out Plath and Pinter
I am all the things that you regret
A truth that washes that learnt how to spell

The first time you see yourself naked you cry
Soft skin now acnefoul breathso broken
He loves me truly this mute solitude I m draining
I know I believe in nothing but it is my nothing

Sleep can t hide the thoughts splitting through my mind
Shadows aren t cleanfalse mirrors too many people awake
If you stand up like a nail then you will be knocked down
I ve been too honest with myself I should have lied like everybody else

I am stronger than MensaMiller and Mailer
I spat out Plath and Pinter
I am all the things that you regret
A truth that washes that learnt how to spelllearnt to spell

So damn easy to cave inman kills everything
So damn easy to cave inman kills everything
So damn easy to cave inman kills everything
So damn easy to cave inman kills everything
