Self Preservation Is Killing Us All - Versus The World

I haven’t had a dry night in longer than I can remember

Made more allowance for decadence than I should admit

Every secret I swallowed like cyanide

Ended up rotting me out from the inside

I always knew it would end this way

I had a master’s touch at fucking up pretty much everything

Every dead pan forked tongue delivery

Another fist full of dirt to bury me

Ain’t that the way it always goes?

Pulling the ripcord, saving myself

Before anybody knows

Ain’t that the way it always goes?

Alone in the life boat saving myself

Before anybody knows

Waving off questions through bullets and consequence

Leaving a clear trail of bodies and evidence

By the time they came to carry me away

I was long gone on a midnight bullet train

Ain’t that the way it always goes?

Make a good entrance

A quiet goodbye

Before anybody knows

Ain’t that the way it always goes?

Light up the fuses

Excuse myself

Before everyone explodes

Ain’t that the way it always goes?

Pulling the ripcord, saving myself

Before anybody knows

Ain’t that the way it always goes?

Alone in the life boat saving myself

Before anybody knows

Ain’t that the way it always goes?

Pulling the ripcord, saving myself

Before anybody knows

Ain’t that the way it always goes?

Alone in the life boat saving myself

Before anybody knows
