I haven't been home for a while I'm sure everything's the same Mom and Dad both in denial An only child to take the blame Sorry, Mom, but I don't miss you Father's no name you deserve I'm just a kid with no ambitions Wouldn't come home for the world Never know what I've become The king of all that's said and done The forgotten son This city's buried in defeat I walk along these no name streets Wave goodbye to all As I fall... At the dead end I begin To burn the bridge of innocence Satisfaction guaranteed A pill-away catastrophe On a mission nowhere bound Inhibitions underground A shallow grave I Have dug all by myself And now I've been gone for so long I can't remember who was wrong All innocence is long gone I pledge allegiance to a world of disbelief Where I belong [Chorus] A walking disaster The son of all bastards You regret you made me It's too late to save me (You regret you made me It's too late to save me) As far as I can tell It's just voices in my head Am I talking to myself? 'Cause I don't know what I just said (And she said) Far is where I fell Maybe I'm better off dead Am I at the end of nowhere Is this as good as it gets? And now I've been gone for so long I can't remember who was wrong All innocence is long gone I pledge allegiance to a world of disbelief Where I belong [Chorus] And now I've been gone for so long I can't remember who was wrong All innocence is long gone I pledge allegiance to a world of disbelief Where I belong [Chorus] I will be home in a while You don't have to say a word I can't wait to see you smile Wouldn't miss it for the world [repeat x1]
