Lyrics by Steve Vai

Suddenly the guilt is written on your face
God only knows how down deep it goes
Nothin left to say in this pitiful state
I'm takin' the shame out on a song

I need to settle down maybe
Take some pity on myself
 [bad word] you, I said [bad word] My mind is better off dead [bad word] you, I said [bad word] Who are these voices in my head

Someone poured cold cement in your soul
And now all the beautiful colors are turning to gray
I notice you're happy only when you're miserable 
(like some other people I know)
You love to eat your heart out just for the taste

We bleed so preciously, baby
Hopeless refugees of war
 [bad word] you, I said [bad word] My mind is better off dead [bad word] you, I said [bad word] Oh, God, I feel like I'm shot in the head

Into the air and into the lungs
And then down under the skin 
Sweetly feeding the blood [bad word] 
Part of the flesh part of the bone [bad word] the brain & blackening the soul

Hip hip hip boom boom way to go
I got a brand new me I don't even know
Before I get a little sick or a 
Little cold, there's just one thing that you should know

We scream so desperately, baby
Choking on the words as they fall
 [bad word] you I said [bad word] My mind is better off dead [bad word] you I said
I can't stop these feelings
