Pardon me, while I burst
Pardon me, while I burst

A decade ago
I never thought I would be 
At twenty three, on the verge of spontaneous combustion
Woe-is-me

But I guess that it comes with the territory
An ominous landscape of never ending calamity
I need you to hear, I need you to see
That I have had all I can take and exploding
Seems like a definite possibility
To me

So pardon me while I burst into flames
I've had enough of the world
And it's people's mindless games
So pardon me while I burn and rise above the flame 
Pardon me, pardon me...
I'll never be the same

Not two days ago, I was having a look
In a book 
And I saw a picture of a guy
Fried up above his knees
I said, "I can relate,"
Cause lately I've been thinking of combustication 
As a welcomed vacation
From the burdens of the planet earth
Like gravity, hypocrisy, and the perils of being in 3-D... 
And thinking so much differently

So pardon me while I burst into flames
I've had enough of the world
And it's people's mindless games
So pardon me while I burn and rise above the flame 
Pardon me, pardon me...
I'll never be the same
Never be the same...

Pardon me while I burst into flames
Pardon me
Pardon me
Pardon me
So pardon me while I burst into flames
I've had enough of the world
And it's people's mindless games
So pardon me while I burn and rise above the flame 
Pardon me, pardon me...
I'll never be the same
Pardon me, never be the same, yeah
