The Shattered God Lyrics

Failure and apathy descend
Success just hasn't been your friend
You live a lie high as the sky

   Kinda about someone who was too self absorbed and prideful and eventually it bit them in the ass.

   I see it as a song about how someone has this pretentiously grandiose view of themselves, yet being ignorant to how others actually view them. It's definitely a "Screw You!" type of song and there's definitely a few people I'd like to dedicate this song to.
