lyrics
Righteous and wrong, speaking out of place
Unable to live with your disgrace
The oxygen has long been running from your face
But abstinence has never really been your taste
I don't want to deny what you think is your right
Better honor your pride
Happy birthday! Junk inside!
You're junk inside
It's hard to watch it. Watch it grow.
Watch it grow when exposed to the light
Trying to pick a fight
Garbage exposed to the light
Better run off and hide
I've seen the rise of faker things than you
The utter demise of everything that's good
Filters used to catch most of the disease
But after awhile they clog my memories
I don't want to deny that you're wretched and trite
Instead, I'll be drinking tonight
Happy worst day! Grow a hide. Grow a hide.
Hide your garbage, your garbage mind. Your garbage mind
I don't want to deny that you're wretched inside
Mind numbing and blind
An emotional child
Scared of being denied of what you think is your right
Pushing others aside
Yeah, you're garbage inside
