Lyrics[]

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?
(You're) Such a mess.
Why would I want to 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 you wanna throw it away like this?
(You're) 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.

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?
(You're) Such a mess.
(I'm) over this.

Disconnect and self destruct, one bullet at a time.
What's your hurry?
Everyone will have his day to die.

(But) If you choose to pull the trigger,
should your drama prove sincere,
do it somewhere far away from here.
