  • One, two, three, nil
    Yeah

    Chaos, it's just the beginning
    Every promise I made I'm rescinding
    Center mass in the middle of the monster
    I'm getting tired of drowning the constant
    Cry for help it's debatable
    The only reason that you love me is I'm hated by all
    Come on, come see dysfunction
    I guess we're gonna leave it open for discussion

    Who am I?
    And where am I going?
    Maybe I'm looking in the wrong direction
    Maybe I'm looking for any direction

    This is not my war
    This is not my fight
    This is something more
    This is not my life
    (This is not my) revolution
    (This is not my) convolution
    (This is not my) expectation
    (This is not my) desperation

    Yeah, holed up, scarred and tamed for the hell of it
    Look at me, I am the glorified malcontent
    Save me? Save this
    All I gotta do is give up, and all is forgiven
    I'm sick of being the butt of a cosmic joke
    And I don't get the punchline
    A million people lined up for miles
    To see the great big mouth shut up and apologize

    This is not my war
    This is not my fight
    This is something more
    This is not my life
    (This is not my) revolution
    (This is not my) convolution
    (This is not my) only reason to question why

    Today, I said goodbye, goodbye
    Oh I didn't need to leave to stay right here
    Today, I said goodbye, goodbye
    Oh I didn't need to leave to stay right here
    Today, I said goodbye, goodbye
    Oh I didn't need to leave to stay right here
    Today, I said goodbye, goodbye
    Oh I didn't need to leave to stay right here
    Today I said goodbye

    Yeah

    I'm the pariah (break me)
    I am the liar (save me)
    I can take anything (make me)
    Accuse me of everything (kill me)
    Cut off the system (slay me)
    Deny my existence (waste me)
    I won't be afraid (try me)
    I won't be unmade (take me)
    Come on, break it off
    Come on, buy the lie
    Come on, say it, say it
    Come on, say goodbye

    Goodbye
    Oh I didn't need to leave to stay right here
    Today, I said goodbye, goodbye
    Oh I didn't need to leave to stay right here
    Today, I said goodbye, goodbye
    Oh I didn't need to leave to stay right here
    Today, I said goodbye, goodbye
    Oh I didn't need to leave to stay right here
    Today, I said goodbye, goodbye

    One (one), two (two), three (three), nil
