Pardon Me - INCUBUS

Pardon me while I burst
Pardon me while I burst

A decade ago, I never thought I would be
At twenty-three on the verge of spontaneous combustion
Woe-is-me
But I guess that it comes with the territory
An ominous landscape of never-ending calamity
I need you to hear, I need you to see
That I have had all I can take and
Exploding seems like a definite possibility to me

So pardon me while I burst into flames
I've had enough of the world
And its people's mindless games
So pardon me while I burn and rise above the flame
Pardon me, pardon me
I'll never be the same

Now two days ago, I was having a look in a book
And I saw a picture of a guy fried up above his knee
I said, "I can relate"
'Cause lately I've been thinking of combustication
As a welcome vacation from the burdens of the planet Earth
Like gravity, hypocrisy, and the perils of being in 3-D
But thinking so much differently

So pardon me while I burst into flames
I've had enough of the world
And its people's mindless games
So pardon me while I burn and rise above the flame
Pardon me, pardon me
I'll never be the same

Never be the same, yeah

Pardon me while I burst into flames
Pardon me
Pardon me
Pardon me

So pardon me while I burst into flames
I've had enough of the world
And its people's mindless games
So pardon me while I burn and rise above the flame
Pardon me, pardon me
I'll never be the same

Pardon me, I'll never be the same, yeah
