Manufacturing Discontent Lyrics - Dillinger Escape Plan

Discarded a broken escape 

Fortunate to be in this state 

Firing on a boredom innate 

Chewing on a ticking grenade 

Listening to the comforting shade 

Instinctive 

I'm supporting a string of destructive habits 

And fighting more that I care to admit 

Crumbling from a sudden dead weight 

Here lies me 

Now what's the meaning 

Oh won't you tell me 

Now won't you tell me the point 

I was trying to find myself 

I wasn't looking for you 

But you gave me the point 

I was trying to kill myself 

What else was I gonna do 

I had a pretty good time 

A long goodbye 

Ascension to demise 

A vow to break 

A lesson for the wise 

I was put here to survive 

Why is your burden mine 

Holding space for this 

There's a place we must have missed 

And they're open real late 

And I believe that we should go as a consolation 

But directions are unknown 

Tonight would be the perfect time 

For us to reach the peak 

It takes a lot to try to care 

The truth's below the surface 

Beneath the deep 

When you live on the thinnest air 

And even condescension comes with a fee 

Slow to care 

Now you tell me the point 

I was trying to find myself 

I wasn't looking for you 

But you gave me the point 

I was trying to kill myself 

What else was I gonna do 

I had a pretty good time
