lyrics

How was I supposed to know that it was all downhill from here, never mind my own outcry cause I’ve got lines to fill. And people always ask me why I do it for the thrill, well my heart is racing, palpitating and I love the way it feels. Shut up shut up I need a break. There’s only so much of your voice that I can take. And if you listen closely, you’ll notice it’s not just me. Like a friend with a bad attitude, let’s bring the noise to ruin the mood. I can’t fake this anymore. I’ve given up I just can’t win. It’s not like it was too long before I was stuck in this nightmare I’m living in. There’s no way we’ll even the score. I did my best to not give in. So cut the rope I’m out the door, ready to start this over again. Soaked in sweat, my bones and back are cracking to the core, I try to lose myself, forget my health, to make them come back for more. Shut up shut up I need a break. There’s only so much of your voice that I can take. I can’t fake this anymore. I’ve given up I just can’t win. It’s not like it was too long before I was stuck in this nightmare I’m living in. There’s no way we’ll even the score. I did my best to not give in. So cut the rope I’m out the door, ready to start this over again. Shut up shut up I need a break. There’s only so much of your voice that I can take.
