Happiness in Self Destruction

13 years old, addicted to cigarettes
And both his pets were scared to death
when he walked through the door
Baptized at twelve
laughed it off
And swore he'd pissed in the water
that had cleansed his soul
We'd been breaking into cars taking stereos
And here he goes down the alleyway
******'s not the same
I miss the days when violence
and carelessness were no expense
But ******'s not the same
Your heart may beat but you're not alive
And it makes me sick to see you all strung out
Desperate you take what you've been deprived
Happiness in self destruction
Your heart may beat but you're not alive
And it makes me sick to see you all strung out
Desperate you take what you've been deprived
Happiness in self destruction
do you remember the time
when we took a hundred bucks
from your momma's purse and we were so excited
Bought candy and got your older brother
to buy us some beer
And it was so clear
I ******g hate myself
for letting you get hooked
on all the ****** that you were on
I promise you next time I'll be strong
I cherish you
I remember every time you bailed me out
And it's safe to say I won't be bailing now
Your heart may beat but you're not alive
And it makes me sick to see you all strung out
Desperate you take what you've been deprived
Happiness in self destruction
Your heart may beat but you're not alive
And it makes me sick to see you all strung out
Desperate you take what you've been deprived
Happiness in self destruction
Woah, woah
(Happiness in self destruction)
Woah, woah
(Happiness in self destruction)
Your heart may beat but you're not alive
And it makes me sick to see you all strung out
Desperate you take what you've been deprived
Happiness in self destruction
Your heart may beat but you're not alive
And it makes me sick to see you all strung out
Desperate you take what you've been deprived
Happiness in self destruction
Your heart may beat but you're not alive
And it makes me sick to see you all strung out
Desperate you take what you've been deprived
Happiness in self destruction
