To never have loved, to never have lost
To never have gambled the planet away,
And swallowed the cost.
I would give my life to have my life back
And to pick up the dust of the pieces
That slipped through the cracks.
‘Cause I don’t have a reason to lie anymore,
And if I’m not at peace, then I must be at war
So batten the hatches, hold to the wall
All are for one now, once and for all.
Douse me with lye, peel back my skin
And disturb every festering demon that’s lurking within.
Punish my superego, unleash my id
And I’ll have my revenge
For the things only I know you did.
(YOU DID!)
So I’ll vote in the madman, tear down the czar
Close up the wound and pour salt on the scar
I’ll break through my prison, smash away the chains
Burn the remainder…
Burn every piece of you in me, broken memory,
Burn everything that remains.
Let’s be realistic: I’m just some dipshit,
One lonely misfit in a world built to bleed.
It’s so simplistic! We’re all statistics!
Dropouts and addicts, teen pregnancies.
You can’t erase me, you can’t replace me
Come now and face me, baby, PLEASE.
Falling over, stone cold sober
Useless flesh and bone
We were bolder, we got older
Look how much we’ve grown…
Little people, born to die alone!
