Lyrics

Pick up to six lines to make a card.

Stranded, lost inside myself
My own worst friend, and my own closest enemy
I'm branded, maladjusted
Never trusted anyone, let alone myself
I must insist on being a pessimist
I'm a loner in a catastrophic mind
Elected, the rejected
I perfect the science of the idiot
No meaning and no healing
Self-loathing freak, an introverted deviant
I must insist on being a pessimist
I'm a loner in a catastrophic mind
Say whatever, oh-oh
Woah-oh
Say whatever, oh-oh
Woah-oh
Shoot!
Stranded, lost inside myself
My own worst friend, and my own closest enemy
Elected, the rejected
I perfect the science of the idiot
I must insist on being a pessimist
I'm a loner in a catastrophic mind
I'm getting pissed, I'm a worthless pessimist
I'm a loner in a claustrophobic mind
