We walked along the barren beach
I saw the trash but not the gla** broken at my feet
Cut myself once again, gotta stop, count to ten, try and relax
Take a breath, breath in deep, taste the smog, feel heat
I gotta get out
All the trash, broken gla**, dirty air, no one cares
Help me out 'cause I think I'm choking
People choose what to do, sippin' booze, sniffin' glue
Catch your breath while you still have a chance
Self preservation's what it's all about
Suffocation k**s without a doubt
So that people just can't stop
Wasting, trashing, using what we got
We're next in line and you can bet
When you grow old, put you in homes
A slow and lonely d**h
You won't forget the mess you left
Another unpaid debt and now you're choking
And now you're choking
And now is the time I tell myself
I'm just alive and I'll get by without any help
So I say why should I sing the songs of rose
And the mess that we leave
Well, in a month or a year maybe I'll have some kids
And they'll need to breath
All the trash, broken gla**, dirty air, no one cares
Help me out 'cause I think I'm choking
People choose what to do, sing the blues, you're on glue
Catch your breath while you still have a chance
Self preservation's what it's all about
Suffocation k**s without a doubt
