Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Chaos– it's just the beginning
Every promise I made I'm rescinding
Center mass in the middle of the monster
I'm getting tired of drowning the constant
Cry for help– it's debatable
The only reason that you love me is I'm hated by all
Come on– come see dysfunction
I guess we're gonna leave it open for discussion
[Verse 2]
Who am I? And where am I going?
Maybe I'm looking in the wrong direction
Maybe I'm looking for any direction
[Verse 3]
This is not my war– this is not my fight
This is something more– this is not my life
(This is not my) revolution
(This is not my) convolution
(This is not my) expectation
(This is not my) desperation
[Verse 4]
Yeah, holed up, scarred and tamed for the hell of it
Look at me– I am the glorified malcontent
Save me? Save this?
All I gotta do is give up and all is forgiven
I'm sick– of being the butt of a cosmic joke
And I don't get the punch line
A million people lined up for miles
To see the great big mouth shut up and apologize
[Verse 5]
This is not my war– this is not my fight
This is something more– this is not my life
(This is not my) revolution
(This is not my) convolution
(This is not my) only reason to question why
[Verse 6]
Today I say goodbye, goodbye
(Oh, I didn't need to leave to stay right here)
Today I say goodbye, goodbye
(Oh, I didn't need to leave to stay right here)
[Verse 7]
Today I say goodbye, goodbye
(Oh, I didn't need to leave to stay right here)
Today I say goodbye, goodbye
(Oh, I didn't need to leave to stay right here)
Today I say goodbye
[Verse 8]
I'm the pariah (Break me)
I am no liar (Save me)
I can take anything (Make me)
Accuse me of everything (Kill me)
Cut off the system (Enslave me)
Deny my existence (Waste me)
I won't be afraid (Try me)
I won't be unmade (Save me)
[Verse 9]
So come on– break it off
Come on– buy the lie
Come on– say it, say it
Come on
[Verse 10]
Say goodbye, goodbye
(Oh, I didn't need to leave to stay right here)
Today I say goodbye, goodbye
(Oh, I didn't need to leave to stay right here)
[Verse 11]
Today I say goodbye, goodbye
(Oh, I didn't need to leave to stay right here)
Today I say goodbye, goodbye
(Oh, I didn't need to leave to stay right here)
Today I say goodbye!
[Verse 12]
...One! ...Two! ...Three! Nil!
