Lyrics

Ready for a cheap escape
On the brink of self-destruction
Widespread panic
Broken glass inside my head (Verse 1)
Bleeding down these thoughts of anguish
Mass confusion

Well the world is a sick machine
Breeding a mass of shit (Chorus)
With such a desolate conclusion
Fill the void with...I don't care

There's a plague inside of me
Eating at my dispostion
Nothing's left
Torn out of reality (Verse 2)
Into a state of no opinion
Limp with hate

(Chorus)

I wanna drop out (x4) (Bridge)
