Sooner or Later
Breaking Benjamin
I want a normal life
Just like a new born child
I am a lover hater
I am an instigator
You are an oversight
Don't try to compromise
I'll learn to love to hate it
I am not integrated
Just call my name
You'll be okay
Your scream is crawling through my veins
Sooner or later your gonna hate it
Go ahead and throw your (my) (our) life away
Driving me under, leaving me out there
Go ahead and throw your (my) (our) life away
You're like an infantile
I knew it all the while
You see them try to play me
Just like you see on TV
I am an oversight
Just like a parasite
Why am I so pathetic
I know you won't forget it
Just call my name
You'll be okay
Your scream is crawling through my veins
Sooner or later your gonna hate it
Go ahead and throw your (my) (our) life away
Driving me under, leaving me out there
Go ahead and throw your (my) (our) life away
I want a normal life
Why couldn't he be normal?
Just like a new born child
Why had he not the choice to start over?
I am a lover hater
He loathed those who said they truly loved. What folly it all was.
I am an instigator
Why must he lead?
You are an oversight
He hadn't meant to begin what he had with the boy. He hadn't thought he could.
Don't try to compromise
I'll learn to love to hate it
He hated the boy. Hated what secret they now shared. He loved hating it. Loved hating him.
I am not integrated
Was he ever? No.
Just call my name
You'll be okay
He loathed telling him this
Your scream is crawling through my veins
Every time. Every time. The boys scream curdled his blood and enacted a response that was not morally right. He was, after all, his teacher.
Sooner or later your gonna hate it
The boy would soon realize the truth of the disgusting situation.
Go ahead and throw your (my) (our) life away
What did he care, anymore? He would merely watch as Harry threw all there was to the dust.
Driving me under, leaving me out there
Go ahead and throw your (my) (our) life away
He never knew watching such a thing could be such a pleasant thing.
You're like an infantile
"Your childish view of the world never ceases to amaze, Mister Potter." Snape growled in irritation.
I knew it all the while
"And yet you continue this liaison we have," the boy remarked, striding forward.
You see them try to play me
Just like you see on TV
I am an oversight
To you, a mistake. His mind taunted him with the truth.
Just like a parasite
Was this truly what he had become?
Why am I so pathetic?
The boy asked him this on many occasions.
I know you won't forget it
Would he ever forget?
Just call my name
You'll be okay
No more would he say these things. No more would he allow anything between them.
Your scream is crawling through my veins
Now he was intimately familiar with the pain of resistance. Before hadn't even scratched the surface.
Sooner or later your gonna hate it
Oh, how he loathed this.
Go ahead and throw your (my) (our) life away
Everything was gone now.
Driving me under, leaving me out there
He was left here, so very much alone.
Go ahead and throw your (my) (our) life away
Everything…everyone…gone.
