lyrics

I brought myself into this world and i'll go when I please
at first what seemed so beautiful has become my disease
i've never asked for much and i'm tired of trying to breathe
so when I take my life let me take it in peace

piece by piece – piece by piece
when I take my life let me take it in peace

microphone check. Is anybody listening?
Or is this scene really as dead as I think?
Wake up. Tell me how to get your attention
before I pour this last cup of hope down the sink
sitting in the dark trying to write a song
but instead I mapped the blueprints for a fucking atom bomb
fuck this city and all my fake friends
yeah, fuck these bands and their bi-weekly trends
its all bullshit but thats just the way it goes
why the fuck you think I stopped playing those lame ass shows?
it don’t mean that I quit - It just means that better things to do
than play songs for kids who don't give a shit
about anything at all. Its as simple as that
Im better off dead than trying to rap
Outcast. I don't wanna be famous
fuck this sikes bullshit. I'd rather be nameless

piece by piece – piece by piece
when I take my life let me take it in peace
piece by piece – piece by piece
when I take my life let me take it in peace

I wanna go back to the days – back before I rapped
when music was just music and that was that
no cares, spiked hair, wide leg jeans
before myspace, before the scene was called “scene”
grumpy old men – yeah i'm one of 'em
all these bands today are shit – don't like none of em
stereotypical. I feel so lame
because all I fucking do is complain
but I just wanna go back to the days before my face was hairy
and cradle of filth was still actually scary
straight mallrat – spraypaint in my backpack
tagging up the city to a black metal soundtrack
no stress. No weight on my chest
Laughing hard at all the F's on every math test
Shit. Just take it. Life is what you make it
Burn a fucking church to the ground. Hail satan

piece by piece – piece by piece
when I take my life let me take it in peace
piece by piece – piece by piece
when I take my life let me take it in peace

I hear the silence on this dead screen
I see the movement but I do not feel a damn thing
Its all special effects within this dead dream
Im just a grumpy old man stuck in a dead scene
