(He who makes a beast out of himself) (Gets rid of the pain of being a man) Caught here in a fiery blaze, won't lose my will to stay I tried to drive on through the night The heat stroke ridden weather, the barren empty sights No oasis here to see, the sand is singing deathless words to me Can't you help me as I'm startin' to burn (all alone) Too many doses and I'm starting to get an attraction My confidence is leaving me on my own (all alone) No one can save me and you know I don't want the attention As I adjust to my new sights The rarely tired lights will take me to new heights My hand is on the trigger and I'm ready to ignite Tomorrow might not make it, but everything's all right Mental fiction follows me, show me what it's like to be set free Can't you help me as I'm startin' to burn (all alone) Too many doses and I'm starting to get an attraction My confidence is leaving me on my own (all alone) No one can save me and you know I don't want the attention So sorry you're not here I've been sane too long my vision's so unclear Now take a trip with me But don't be surprised when things aren't what they seem Caught here in a fiery blaze, won't lose my will to stay These eyes won't see the same, after I flip today Sometimes I don't know why we'd rather live than die We look up towards the sky for answers to our lives We may get some solutions but most just pass us by Don't want your absolution 'cause I can't make it right I'll make a beast out of myself Gets rid of all the pain of being a man Can't you help me as I'm startin' to burn (all alone) Too many doses and I'm starting to get an attraction My confidence is leaving me on my own (all alone) No one can save me and you know I don't want the attention So sorry you're not here I've been sane too long my vision's so unclear Now take a trip with me But don't be surprised when things aren't what they seem I've known it from the start all These good ideas will tear your brains apart Scared but you can follow me I'm too weird to live but much too rare to die
