(VERSE)
PuF#5lling down toxins from the aC#5tmosphere
MA5aking all of my decisions bD5ased on fear
I neF#5ver even cared about what C#5I could be
declA5ared a private war on authD5ority
I goF#5t what you need because I'C#5m a bad seed
I'm ruA5nning on adrenaline and liD5ving on greed
I'm tF#5ired of being, I'm sC#5ick of my scene
lA5ooking for the end or a plD5ace 
where I can finally coC#5me clean
(CHORUS)
Because I remember oF#5ne time 
soD5mething to live for
  A5Now so lonC#5g ago

WeaA5ring my contempt like a buD5llet-proof vest
OF#5n my way gonna mC#5ake it all mine
RoA5lling in the gutter just to kiD5ll some time
But F#5I was dead wrong and noC#5w it's all gone
I woA5n't become the fool that I've abD5used for so long
The liF#5ne's played out and I've goC#5t to get back
ChA5ase away the negative and throD5w 
away the useless trC#5ack

Walking everyday thinking that I know best
