lyrics

I dedicate this one
to all the friends
who had the decency
to stab me in my chest.
'Cause that's what friends are for ...
or so I'm told.

I've seen brotherhood through windows I've traveled past, condemned to this lonely path,
see, when it mattered, my fellowship shattered, it scattered, and I got battered by the winds of a lustful one -
Shame on me for thinking I deserved the kind of affection I had given, given back to me.
‘Cause what I've learned is the world turns; the world burns; no matter what we all fill urns so save yourself.

No, forget you too.
I want to be rid of you.
No, forget you too.

I can't explain it but I can't stop tounging the wound,
guess when they're cornered that's what wallflowers do.
They're gone but here's to readjusting –
b-b-b-b-b-but nothing!
All’s said and done, there’s nothing left to construe.
So much for the homegrowns; the hooked-up-by-the-hip-bones.
They could say that they tried but I know that's a lie, and why?
Repartee is a two way street; once ready rapport rendered ruined by vanity.
Turn-coat, that was all she-wrote – I still remember, but I’m thinking you don’t so
burn your memories and cover your tracks,
forget this ‘loser’ ever covered your back
‘cause you could change your mind on where your loyalties lie,
but that would better prove my point that all your loyalties die –
so when you stumble back to try and rationalize
I'll give you one last thing, this little piece of advice:

Piss off!

See, I've been dropped from the team enough times I've become accustomed to the taste of spite.
Besides, the conversation inside my head is much more appealing, I've always said.
I was born alone so I can rot alone, and I sleep alone so I can die alone.

... Or maybe not.
‘Cause the worst thing about it is you’ve made up your minds – can’t do a damn thing about it.
You've got new ways to spend all your time
and that time is better spent now that you've left me behind - and that's fine.
... But no it's not, 'cause you forgot that I exist when you were all that I'd got – stop.
Now I think about it, what's it to me?
You’ll be forgotten in the end given the company you keep so:

Don't need you calling me a friend when you never call,
you're always "busy" but I’m not buying your fables at all.
You're not worth the aggro – it’s not too late to let go so
next time I see you, you'll just be some dickhead I used to know.

‘Cause I've found words to live by,
sing 'em loud if you know why:

Trust nothing; love no one;
Trust no one; love nothing.

... and if that's not what life is,
what do you know? ’Cause mine is.

Trust nothing; love no one;
Trust no one; love nothing.

... and if gloom's all that awaits,
well that's fine, it’s my best mate.

Trust nothing; love no one;
Trust no one; love nothing.
