Happiness in Self Destruction

13 years old, addicted to cigarettes

And both his pets were scared to death

when he walked through the door

Baptized at twelve

laughed it off

And swore he'd pissed in the water

that had cleansed his soul

We'd been breaking into cars taking stereos

And here he goes down the alleyway

******'s not the same

I miss the days when violence

and carelessness were no expense

But ******'s not the same

Your heart may beat but you're not alive

And it makes me sick to see you all strung out

Desperate you take what you've been deprived

Happiness in self destruction

Your heart may beat but you're not alive

And it makes me sick to see you all strung out

Desperate you take what you've been deprived

Happiness in self destruction

do you remember the time

when we took a hundred bucks

from your momma's purse and we were so excited

Bought candy and got your older brother

to buy us some beer

And it was so clear

I ******g hate myself

for letting you get hooked

on all the ****** that you were on

I promise you next time I'll be strong

I cherish you

I remember every time you bailed me out

And it's safe to say I won't be bailing now

Your heart may beat but you're not alive

And it makes me sick to see you all strung out

Desperate you take what you've been deprived

Happiness in self destruction

Your heart may beat but you're not alive

And it makes me sick to see you all strung out

Desperate you take what you've been deprived

Happiness in self destruction

Woah, woah

(Happiness in self destruction)

Woah, woah

(Happiness in self destruction)

Your heart may beat but you're not alive

And it makes me sick to see you all strung out

Desperate you take what you've been deprived

Happiness in self destruction

Your heart may beat but you're not alive

And it makes me sick to see you all strung out

Desperate you take what you've been deprived

Happiness in self destruction

Your heart may beat but you're not alive

And it makes me sick to see you all strung out

Desperate you take what you've been deprived

Happiness in self destruction
