I haven't been home for a while
00:07
I'm sure everything's the same
00:10
Mom and Dad, both in denial
00:13
An only child to take the blame
00:16
Sorry Mom, but I don't miss you
00:19
Father's no name you deserve
00:22
I'm just a kid with no ambitions
00:25
Wouldn't come home for the world
00:29
You'll never know what I've become
00:30
The king of all that's said and done
00:35
The forgotten son
00:39
This city's buried in defeat
00:42
I walk along these no name streets
00:46
Wave goodbye to all
00:49
As I fall...
00:54
At the dead end I begin
01:14
To burn the bridge of innocence
01:17
Satisfaction guaranteed
01:20
A pill away catastrophe
01:23
On a mission, nowhere bound
01:26
Inhibitions underground
01:29
A shallow grave I
01:32
Have dug all by myself
01:34
And now I've been gone for so long
01:35
I can't remember who was wrong
01:40
All innocence is long gone
01:43
I pledge allegiance to a world of disbelief where I belong
01:47
A walking disaster
01:50
The son of all bastards
01:53
You regret you made me
01:56
It's too late to save me
01:59
(You regret you made me)
02:00
(It's too late to save me)
02:01
And he said, "Far as I can tell, it's just voices in my head
02:18
Am I talking to myself? 'Cause I don't know what I just said"
02:22
And she said, "Far is where I fell, maybe I'm better off dead
02:25
Am I at the end of nowhere? Is this as good as it gets?"
02:29
And now I've been gone for so long
02:30
I can't remember who was wrong
02:35
All innocence is long gone
02:38
I pledge allegiance to a world of disbelief where I belong
02:42
A walking disaster
02:46
The son of all bastards
02:49
You regret you made me
02:52
It's too late to save me
02:54
(To save me, to save me, to save me, to save me)
02:55
(To save me, to save me, to save me, to save me)
02:59
(To save me, to save me, to save me, to save me)
03:02
(To save me, to save me, to save me, to save me)
03:06
(It's too late to save me)
03:10
(To save me, save me)
03:11
(To save me, save me)
03:12
(To save me, to save me, to save me, to save me)
03:13
(To save me, to save me, to save me)
03:17
And now I've been gone for so long
03:20
I can't remember who was wrong
03:25
All innocence is long gone
03:28
I pledge allegiance to a world of disbelief where I belong
03:32
A walking disaster
03:35
The son of all bastards
03:38
You regret you made me
03:41
It's too late to save me
03:44
I will be home in a while
03:55
You don't have to say a word
03:59
I can't wait to see you smile
04:01
Wouldn't miss it for the world
04:05
I will be home in a while
04:08
You don't have to say a word
04:11
I can't wait to see you smile
04:13
Wouldn't miss it for the world
04:17

[English]
I haven't been home for a whileI'm sure everything's the same
Mom and Dad, both in denial
An only child to take the blame
Sorry Mom, but I don't miss you
Father's no name you deserve
I'm just a kid with no ambitions
Wouldn't come home for the world
You'll never know what I've become
The king of all that's said and done
The forgotten son
This city's buried in defeat
I walk along these no name streets
Wave goodbye to all
As I fall...
At the dead end I begin
To burn the bridge of innocence
Satisfaction guaranteed
A pill away catastrophe
On a mission, nowhere bound
Inhibitions underground
A shallow grave I
Have dug all by myself
And now I've been gone for so long
I can't remember who was wrong
All innocence is long gone
I pledge allegiance to a world of disbelief where I belong
A walking disaster
The son of all bastards
You regret you made me
It's too late to save me
(You regret you made me)
(It's too late to save me)
And he said, "Far as I can tell, it's just voices in my head
Am I talking to myself? 'Cause I don't know what I just said"
And she said, "Far is where I fell, maybe I'm better off dead
Am I at the end of nowhere? Is this as good as it gets?"
And now I've been gone for so long
I can't remember who was wrong
All innocence is long gone
I pledge allegiance to a world of disbelief where I belong
A walking disaster
The son of all bastards
You regret you made me
It's too late to save me
(To save me, to save me, to save me, to save me)
(To save me, to save me, to save me, to save me)
(To save me, to save me, to save me, to save me)
(To save me, to save me, to save me, to save me)
(It's too late to save me)
(To save me, save me)
(To save me, save me)
(To save me, to save me, to save me, to save me)
(To save me, to save me, to save me)
And now I've been gone for so long
I can't remember who was wrong
All innocence is long gone
I pledge allegiance to a world of disbelief where I belong
A walking disaster
The son of all bastards
You regret you made me
It's too late to save me
I will be home in a while
You don't have to say a word
I can't wait to see you smile
Wouldn't miss it for the world
I will be home in a while
You don't have to say a word
I can't wait to see you smile
Wouldn't miss it for the world
