PARDON ME
WHILE I BURST
A DECADE AGO
I NEVER THOUGHT
I WOULD BE
AT TWENTY-THREE
ON THE VERGE OF
SPONTANEOUS
COMBUSTION WOE IS ME
BUT I GUESS THAT
IT COMES
WITH THE TERRITORY
AN OMINOUS
LANDSCAPE OF
NEVER-ENDING
CALAMITY
I NEED YOU TO HEAR
I NEED YOU TO SEE
THAT I HAVE HAD
ALL I CAN TAKE AND
EXPLODING SEEMS LIKE
A DEFINITE
POSSIBILITY
A-TO ME
SO PARDON ME
WHILE I BURST
INTO FLAMES
I'VE HAD ENOUGH
OF THE WORLD
AND ITS PEOPLE'S
MINDLESS GAMES
SO PARDON ME
WHILE I BURN
AND RISE ABOVE
THE FLAME
PARDON ME
PARDON ME
I'LL NEVER BE THE SAME
NOT TWO DAYS AGO
I WAS HAVING A LOOK
IN A BOOK
AND I SAW A PICTURE
OF A GUY FRIED UP
ABOVE HIS KNEES
I SAID I CAN RELATE
'CAUSE LATELY
I'VE BEEN THINKING OF
COMBUSTICATION AS A
WELCOME VACATION
FROM
THE BURDENS OF
THE PLANET EARTH
LIKE GRAVITY
HYPOCRISY AND
THE PERILS OF
BEING IN 3-D
BUT THINKING SO MUCH
DIFFERENTLY
HAH AH AH AH AH
PARDON ME
WHILE I BURST
INTO FLAMES
I'VE HAD ENOUGH
OF THE WORLD
AND ITS PEOPLE'S
MINDLESS GAMES
SO PARDON ME
WHILE I BURN
AND RISE ABOVE
THE FLAME
PARDON ME
PARDON ME
I'LL NEVER BE THE SAME
NEVER BE
THE SAME YEAH
PARDON ME
WHILE I BURST
INTO FLAMES
PARDON ME
PARDON ME
PARDON ME
SO PARDON ME
WHILE I BURST
INTO FLAMES
I'VE HAD ENOUGH
OF THE WORLD
AND ITS PEOPLE'S
MINDLESS GAMES
SO PARDON ME
WHILE I BURN
AND RISE ABOVE
THE FLAME
PARDON ME
PARDON ME
I'LL NEVER BE THE SAME
A-NEVER BE
THE SAME YEAH
