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

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
