“For to everyone who has, more shall be given, and he will have an abundance; but from the one who does not have, even what he does have shall be taken away.”

– Matthew 25:29

Nothing More – The Matthew Effect

You’ve been sucking tit
Asleep in your cradle
Given the world
You’re still ungrateful
You bitch and whine
You’re always entitled
You blame Mommy and Daddy
You think you’re Jesus Christ

You’ve been sucking tit
Safe in your cradle
Given the world
But somehow unable
If talk is the game
Then you take the title
Your day is coming
Despite your denial

Like a parasite, you got the easy life
I’m the hand that feeds
You’re the dog that bites

I’ll be breaking, breaking, breaking your pride
You’re sucking, sucking, sucking me dry
One day you’ll realize
You’re no Jesus Christ

I dream of the day
Your eyes are ripped open
You eat your words
Spit up and start choking
Talk like a man
But walk like a child
Your day is coming, despite your denial

Like a parasite, you got the easy life
I’m the hand that feeds
You’re the dog that bites

I’ll be breaking, breaking, breaking your pride
You’re sucking, sucking, sucking me dry
One day you’ll realize, why can’t you realize?
Breaking, breaking, breaking your pride
You’re sucking, sucking, sucking me dry
One day you’ll realize you’re no Jesus Christ

Give up, step back, rewind, repeat

And then you’ll see one day
That you could be like a star someday
Like a star someday

Then you’ll be
Breaking, breaking, breaking your pride
Sucking, sucking, sucking me dry
One day you’ll realize
Why can’t you realize?

I’ll be breaking, breaking, breaking your pride
You’re sucking, sucking, sucking me dry
One day you’ll realize you’re no Jesus Christ

Until you realize you’re no Jesus Christ
