lyrics

Succumb to numbness
And rest in apathy, my friend
Or live forever with the pain
And curse the thoughtless
Who feast on famine, lie in wait
And drive the rest of us insane

Endure the heartless
But when compassion starts to strain
You'll cry out from your tired brain:

"I hate what you stand for
And I hate all the shit that you do
And I'd love to fuck it up
But I can't get to you
But I can get to me"

Yeah, I could make my demands
And maybe it's worth a try
No guarantees

Said you're afraid of rejection
Well, I'm afraid of that too
But the difference between you and me is
I don't know what I might do
If it gets too dark at night
'Cause I've always got myself to fight

'Cause when it's all too much
I could just self-destruct
'Cause the whole world is fucked
And we're plumb out of luck
You know the time has come
For us to rise on up
But if it's not enough
Maybe I'll self-destruct
