Help me if you can
It's just that this
Is not the way I'm wired
So could you please
Help me understand why
You've given in to all these
Reckless dark desires you're
Lying to yourself again
Suicidal imbecile
Think about it, you're pounding on a fault line
What'll it take to get it through to you precious
I'm over this
Why do you wanna throw it away like this
Such a mess
Why would I wanna watch you?
Disconnect and self-destruct
One bullet at a time
What's your rush now
Everyone will have his day to die
Medicated
Drama queen
Picture perfect, numb belligerence
Narcissistic
Drama queen
Craving fame and all its decadence
Lying through your teeth again
Suicidal imbecile
Think about it, you're pounding on a fault line
What'll it take to get it through to you precious
I'm over this
Why do wanna throw it away like this
Such a mess
Why would I wanna watch you?
Disconnect and self-destruct
One bullet at a time
What's your rush, now?
Everyone will have his day to die
They were right about you
They were right about you
Lying to my face again
Suicidal imbecile
Think about it, you're pounding on a fault line
What'll it take to get it through to you, precious
I'm over this
Why do you wanna throw it away like this
Such a mess
Over this!? Over this!?
Disconnect and self-destruct
One bullet at a time
What's your hurry
Everyone will have his day to die
If you choose to pull the trigger
Should your drama prove sincere
Do it somewhere far away from here
