Verse 1

Bass Only:

A decade ago I never

 thought I would be

A twenty three on the verge

of spontaneous combustion

 Woe-is-me

 But I guess that it comes

 with the territory

An ominous landscape of

 never-ending calamity

 I need you to hear

 I need you to see

That I have had

all I can take

And exploding seems like a

 definite

possibility

Distortion:

To me

Chorus 1

So Pardon me while I burst into flames

 I've had enough of the world

 and its people's mindless games

 So Pardon me while I burn

 and rise above the flame

 Pardon me pardon me

I'll never be the same

Verse 2

Bass Only:

Not two days ago I was

 having a look in a book

And I saw a picture of a

 guy fried up above his knees

 I said I can relate

 Cause lately I've been

thinking of combustication

 as a welcomed vacation from

 The burdens of the planet earth

like gravity hypocrisy and

 the perils of being in 3-D...

 And thinking so much
