lyrics
Today I woke up and saw the world in a different light, a different plight
and couldn't stand the sight of it anymore
I couldn't take it anymore
I just can't stand to walk down the streets we shared our thoughts on you always had your guard on that always made you tarry long
You always said to carry on
Your words are useless now
You're becoming just like all the rest
Just shut up and pack your bags for now
Because you surely won't be needing the rest
The funny thing I never heard a third of the time in your worry was that your cursing might force you to be in the wrong again
Good thing I never heard your plan
Because if you had opened your token of lovin' to your broken attempt at a notion of fixin' your emotions we'd all be dead
Good thing you never showed your hand
Your words are useless now
You're becoming just like all the rest
Just shut up and pack your bags for now
Because you surely won't be needing the rest
Good thing you never showed your hand
They would have locked you up and thrown away the key
And everything you say is poison, poison to my mind and poisoning those around with your cloister of hating And everything you do is lesions on my brain teasing every chance I've ever had and every chance I'll ever get
But this is my life and my time and my place and you won't be trifling my chance to shine and face the world to overcome the fears, fears you've been piling on my world in the wake of your insane episodic wake of lying to my face oh yeah
