lyrics

Say goodbye to yet another smile
This living hell just doesn't seem worthwhile
I wish that I could pretend I knew
To feel the way that all the others seem to

Carrying this tremendous burden of hate
No one seems to sympathize or even relate
As time ticks slowly within my head
Pondering if I would be better off dead

CHORUS:
And nothing is ever gonna change my mind
Damn wanting to annihilate human kind
Feel something that's scratching from within
Becoming, I bring to you the beast within

I never thought that it could be so hard
I slit my wrists with my student body card
Intolerable, yes, or so some people would say
But who are you to critique my actions, anyway?

You talk like a person but your shit don't stink
I don't need you telling me what and when to think
If God pulled the trigger, would it be right
As long as the deed was done out of sight?

REPEAT CHORUS

I feel like nothing, becoming something
Something unlike human kind
I feel so lonely, want you to hold me
Hold me 'till the end of time
REPEAT

REPEAT CHORUS
