lyrics

Sometimes the future makes me sick
when melodies come fast and thick
sometimes the anger drops its script
I wish I wouldn't sink so quick

Though I can fight the symptoms I cant fight the cause
I feel the urge to wring its neck and break its jaw
It took me time to learn I'm not just some weirdo
but though I know the causes I can't make it stop

Yeah it seems others think I've got the things they seek
yet it seems others get what I can't even dream
but let me tell you something I'm not a wizard
this booming voice your hearing's just a microphone

And in the end, all I know's, I've been tied to a role,
though it makes no sense at all
no it makes no sense at all
though it makes no sense at all

Sometimes the future makes me sick
when melodies come fast and thick
though maybe you don't care one bit
I wish I wouldn't sink so quick
