Incubus - Pardon Me lyrics

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 that 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 it's 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

Not two days ago, I was having a look
In a book and I saw a picture of
A guy fried up above his knees
I said, "I can relate
" because lately I've been
Thinking of combustication as a
Welcomed vacation from
The burdens of the planet earth
Like gravity, hypocrisy
And the perils of being in 3D
But thinking so much differently

So pardon me while I burst into flames
I've had enough of the world
And it's 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 it's 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, never be the same, yeah
