lyrics

i'm taking all you down with me
explosives duct taped to my spine
nothing's gonna change my mind
i won't listen to anyone's last words
there's nothing left for you to say
soon you'll be dead anyway
no oneis getting out alive 
this time i've really lost my mind and i don't care
so close your eyes and kiss yourself goodbye
and think about the times you spent and what they've meant
to me it's nothing
i'm losing all my happiness
the happiness you pinned on me
lonliness still comforts me my anger dwells inside of me
i'm taking it all out on you and all the shit you put me through
do you ever think back to another time?
does it bring you so down that you thought you lost your mind?
do you ever want to lead a long trail of destruction
and mow down any bullshit that confronts you?
do you ever build up all the small things in your head
to make one problem that adds up to nothing
