    Lyrics
    I declare I don't care no more
    I'm burning up and out and growing bored
    In my smoked out boring room
    My hair is shagging in my eyes
    Dragging my feet to hit the street tonight
    To drive along these shit town lights
    I'm not growing up, I'm just burning out
    And I stepped in line to walk amongst the dead

    Apathy has rained on me
    And now I'm feeling like a soggy dream
    So close to drowning but I don't mind
    I've lived inside this mental cave
    Throw my emotions in the grave
    Hell, who needs them anyway.
