I'm pulling out of this race
I've had enough, can't take the pace
You wanna know why? Well I think you know
I've had enough, it's time to go
Sick and tired of wasting my time
Bad thoughs polluting my mind
Tired of the daily grind
Can't stand the people
None of them are my kind

I try to be patient, but I don't understand you
When you're saying one thing but you mean another
Don't like this "other person" that you've become
Now the damage is done, no chance of a re-run

I try to forget the damage you did to me
But I can't erase scars on my memory

You don't like the truth when you stare it in the face
Because when it stares back it can put you in your place
You never want to listen to any other point of view
Because the only one that counts has to come from you

Got no feeling left but hate
You try to reconcile, but it's too late
A friendship I won't instigate
You want to make amends, but it's too late

I try to forget the damage you did to me
But I can't erase scars on my memory

Out of patience
Out of time
Out of focus
Out of line
Can't tell you what I'm thinking about
It's bottled up and won't come out
Feel like giving up, feel washed out
'Cos I'm dried up and I'm dried out
Try again
To make you see
A fool again
I must have been
So I give up
Play the game
But never win

I can see where we're heading, too late to put right
Took too many liberties, it serves ourselves right

Time is still ticking, but only for a while
So drink your last drink and smile your last smile
Sing your last song, dance your last dance
Did you think we'd live forever? There never was no fucking chance

We're chasing our own tails 'cos the end is in sight
It's in our nature to destroy ouselves, and we just might

Time is still ticking, but only for a while
So drink your last drink and smile your last smile
Sing your last song, dance your last dance
Did you think we'd live forever?
There never was no fucking chance

Self imploding, overloading, end of the human race
Used, abused and unamused. The world spits in our face

The world is still turning, but we're running out of time
Blown all our chances, end of the line
Sing your last song, dance your last dance
Did you think we'd live forever?
There never was no fucking chance

I know we're still here, but it's not for much longer
Society is crumbling, tne smell of death is stronger
The world is still turning, but we're running out of time
Blown all our chances, end of the line

I'm comming to the end of rational thinking
More and more down, I feel like I'm sinking
Spiralling down, been falling for so long
Can't remember where I feel or where I went wrong

'Cos in my own little world all is not well
Inner peace I've got to find, pain I've got to sell

Time is running out, my patience getting thinner
My fuse is getting short, the light is getting dimmer
It's getting so dark I can't see where I'm going
I'm walking up a dead end without even knowing

'Cos in my own little world all is not well
Inner peace I've got to find, pain I've got to sell

It drains me of feeling, it drains me of life
It drain me of emotion and the will to survive

You change your mind
I waste my time
There is no point
That I can find
Say you don't care
Say you don't mind
You're in control
I follow blind
As if they mean the things they say
As if they ever turn out that way
Sucking me in
Sucking me out
Pulling my strings
There is no doubt
