Lyrics for Manufacturing Discontent

Discarded a broken escape Fortunate to be in this state Firing on a boredom innate Chewing on a ticking grenade Listening to the comforting shade Instinctive I'm supporting a string of destructive habits And fighting more that I care to admit Crumbling from a sudden dead weight Here lies me Now what's the meaning Here lies me Now what's the meaning Oh won't you tell me Now won't you tell me the point I was trying to find myself I wasn't looking for you But you gave me the point I was trying to kill myself What else was I What else was I gonna do I had a pretty good time I had a pretty good time A long goodbye Ascension to demise A vow to break A lesson for the wise I was put here to survive Why is your burden mine Holding space for this There's a place we must have missed And they're open real late And I believe that we should go As a consolation But directions are unknown Tonight would be the perfect time for us to reach the peak It takes a lot to try to care The truth's below the surface, beneath the deep When you live on the thinnest air And even condescension comes with a fee Slow to care Slow to care Now you tell me the point I was trying to find myself I wasn't looking for you Looking for you, looking But you gave me the point I was trying to kill myself What else was I gonna do, gonna do I had a pretty good time
