Lyrics
Armatage Shanks
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Stranded... lost inside myself
My own worst friend
And my own closest enemy
I'm branded... Maladjusted
Never trusted anyone
Let alone myself
I must insist
On being a pessimist
I'm a loner in a catastrophic mind
Elected the rejected
I perfect the science of the idiot
No meaning... And no healing
Self loathing freak and introverted
Deviot
I must insist
On being a pessimist
I'm a loner in a catastrophic mind
Stranded... lost inside myself
My own worst friend
And my own closest enemy
Elected the rejected
I perfect the science of the idiot
I must insist
On being a pessimist
I'm a loner in a catastrophic mind
I'm getting pissed
I'm a worthless pessimist
I'm a loner in a claustrophobic mind
