Fuck What Fireworks Stand For

(album: American Nightmare - 2000)

I just want the world to know you've got me at an all time low.
But I wrote the song that broke your fucking heart.
I'm caught up in 'no sleep' and I nod my head with every tear but they're still drowning me.
It's cold and I can barely see, and 5 AM is here again so hang your head with me.

I was walking next to you in a Saturday night-type light.
The faces blurred in with yours as I stumbled some words on life...
I was breathing thanks to you in a Saturday night-type light.
And when the faceless kids danced towards faceless ends I quit life.

"I can't believe that you're not dead"
Shrugged my shoulders, laughed inside, nodded my head.
And I don't remember anything but seven songs of chances gone, that's all I know.

I was walking next to you in a Saturday night-type light.
The faces blurred in with yours as I stumbled some words on life...
I was breathing thanks to you in a Saturday night-type light.
And when the faceless kids danced towards faceless ends I quit life.

Anytime you want to go, I'm ready to go.
Nothing shines on "feeling old" this isn't right.
All I want is a reason to smile before I'm dead, I'm dead, I live in denial.
There's nothing left inside of me.
You say there's more but I don't fucking care.

I've got nothing left
I'm falling down (down)
I'm just a face in the fucking crowd
I'm falling down until the end, it's fucking over my friends
I'll be in your dreams
I'm falling down (down)
I'm just a face in the fucking crowd
I'm falling down until the end, it's over my friends
