This song came from the writing sessions for the second album before Adam Stewart joined the band while Thommy Razor was still pounding skins for the band.
Adam had added parts to this song when he came aboard, but this song was scrapped when Charley Huwig took over the drum duties and the writing process started anew.
lyrics
I tried to get away
No, I won’t forget what happened today
It seems like everything I do, simply means nothing to you
Well, it’s not the first time or the last time
It hasn’t seemed like a waste of time
We must be cruel in order to be kind
Drive me off the edges
We can’t stop the feed
Burn me into ashes
Now I feel the need
I never wanted this
A contradiction of yourself
I never wanted this
A contradiction of yourself
I don’t think you know what you did in my head
When the back of my mind was seeing red
Is it so immoral for me to depend on a simple revenge?
I won’t let my mind be the high tide that comes crashing down this time
We must be cruel in order to be kind
Drive me off the edges
We can’t stop the feed
Burn me into ashes
Now I feel the need
I never wanted this
A contradiction of yourself
I never wanted this
A contradiction of yourself
I never wanted this
A contradiction of yourself
I never wanted this
A contradiction of yourself
