Lyrics

Stranded, lost inside myself
My own worst friend
And my own closest enemy (Verse 1)
Branded, maladjusted
Never trusted anyone
Let alone myself

I must insist on being a pessimist (Chorus 1)
I'm a loner in a catastrophic mind

Elected, the rejected
I perfected the science
Of the idiot (Verse 2)
No meaning, and no healing
Self-loathing freak
And introverted deviot

(Chorus 1)
(Bridge)

Stranded, lost inside myself
My own worst friend
And my own closest enemy (Verse 3)
Elected, the rejected
I perfected the science
Of the idiot

(Chorus 1)

I'm gettin pissed, I'm a worthless pessimist (Chorus 2)
I'm a loner in a claustrophobic mind
