Lyrics

[Verse 1]
A decade ago, I never thought I would be
At 23, on the verge of spontaneous combustion, woe is me
But I guess that it comes with the territory
An ominous landscape of never-ending calamity
I need you to hear, I need you to see
That I have had all I can take
And exploding seems like a definite possibility to me
[Chorus]
So pardon me while I burst into flames
I've had enough of the world and its people's mindless games
So pardon me while I burn and rise above the flames
So pardon me, pardon me, I'll never be the same
[Verse 2]
Not two days ago, I was having a look in a book
And I saw a picture of a guy fried up above his knee
I said, "I can relate"
'Cause lately, I've been thinking of combustication
As a welcome vacation from the burdens of the planet Earth
Like gravity, hypocrisy, and the perils of being in 3D
But thinking so much differently, and
[Chorus]
So pardon me while I burst into flames
I've had enough of the world and its people's mindless games
So pardon me while I burn and rise above the flame
So pardon me, pardon me, I'll never be the same
[Bridge]
I'll never be the same, yeah
I'll never be the same
So pardon me while I burst into flames
Pardon me, pardon me, pardon me
[Chorus]
So pardon me while I burst into flames
I've had enough of the world and its people's mindless games
So pardon me while I burn and rise above the flames
So pardon me, pardon me, I'll never be the same
Pardon me, I'll never be the same, yeah
I'll never be the same
Pardon me, I'll never be the same, yeah
