The Outsider (Apocalype Mix)
A Perfect Circle · aMOTION [2004]
It's just that this, is not the way I'm wired so could you please
Help me understand why, you're givin' into all these reckless desires
you're lying to yourself again, suicidal imbecile
You're puonding on a faultline
What'll it take to get through to you precious
Why would I
Why would I
Why would I
Wanna watch you
Disconnect and self-destruct one bullet at a time
What's your rush now everyone will have his day to die
(Day to die, day to die, day to die, day to die..)
Medicated, drama queen
Picture perfect non-belligerance
Narcissistic, drama queen
Craving fame and all this decadence
Lying through your teeth again, suicidal imbecile
Think about it, put it on a fault line
What'll it take to get through to you precious?
No one asks, why do you wanna throw it away like this
Such a mess, why would I wanna watch you
Disconnect and self-destruct one bullet at a time
What's your rush now everyone will have his day to die
Lying to my face again, suicidal imbecile
Think about it, you're pounding a faultline
What'll it take to get through to you precious?
Why do you wanna throw it away like this
Such a mess, no one else, no one else
(his day to die)
Disconnect and self-destruct
Disconnect and self-destruct
