lyrics

Ah!

Pain
It always begins with the pain
It's a feeling I cannot explain
All this pain
Bu no matter how I try to scream, nothing ever comes out
Of my mouth
And whenever you're near me I'm desperate to drown it all out

You're the whale and your spite's in your spout
And I'm Ahab, I'm thrashing about

But the irony is lost on you
'Cause you've never thought of anything
'Cause you think you've thought of everything
News flash: you haven't
But the irony is lost on you
All the jokes at your expense
Subtle digs and social subterfuge
And you end up alone

Wait--I'm thinking of a four-letter word
Starts with "H", it's a noun and a verb
One you've heard
After all of this time, I'm still searching for something
I'd ask for your tenderness, ask for affection
I'd ask, if I thought you had something worth asking for
You're a tonsil, a waste, and a bore
Thank God that you walked out the door

Get frenetic, it's time to get frenetic!
Give it a shot like you're fucking diabetic
I live on vengeance, it's like I'm cybernetic
I would explain, but you'd never fucking get it
Get frenetic, it's time to get frenetic!
Cut the cord, yeah, I just wanna forget it
When you're around, I just need a medic
I pray to Christ that your damage ain't genetic

Get frenetic, get frenetic! (times a billion)

You don't even know what I'm thinking
When I scream "I feel like I'm sinking"
You don't even know what I'm feeling
When I tell ya, I'll send ya reeling
You don't even know what I'm thinking
When I scream "I feel like I'm sinking"
You don't even know what I'm feeling
When I tell ya, I'll send ya reeling
You don't even know what I'm thinking
When I scream "I feel like I'm sinking"
You don't even know what I'm feeling
When I tell ya, I'll send ya reeling

I feel like I'm sinking
I feel like I'm sinking
But the irony is lost on you
