Lyrics
I declare I don\'t care no more
I\'m burning up and out and growing bored
In my smoked out boring room [Verse 1]
My hair is shagging in my eyes
Dragging my feet to hit the street tonight
To drive along these shit town lights
I\'m not growing up
I\'m just burning out [Chorus]
And I\'ve stepped in line
To walk amongst the dead
Apathy has rained on me
And now I\'m feeling like a soggy dream
So close to drowning but I don\'t mind
I\'ve lived inside this mental cave [Verse 2]
Throw my emotions in the grave
Hell, who needs them anyway?
[Chorus x2]
[Bridge]
[Chorus x2]
