You always bring your invitation A chance to be another me 'Cause you know I'm not your friend Without your peace offering You see these scars, the skin, and bone I'm hanging on by a rope But you'd steal my last breath and wait for a chance To push me right off the edge Paranoid I'm gonna have to sell my soul Tie it up and hope it don't make a sound Chemicals They're gonna make me lose control Light it up and burn it all to the ground If I didn't know better I'd have thought At least you were on my side But you know me better than me And you love it when I'm paralyzed You know it's irresponsible To pretend it's a favor, oh To let someone else pull the trigger When you put the bullet in the chamber Paranoid I'm gonna have to sell my soul Tie it up and hope it don't make a sound Chemicals They're gonna make me lose control Light it up and burn it all to the ground ♪ I'll fight this fire with gasoline I'll fight this war 'Cause this is a social disease I'll fight this fire with gasoline And making up in an American dream A self-medicated American dream Self-medicated Paranoid I'm gonna have to sell my soul Tie it up and hope it don't make a sound Chemicals They're gonna make me lose control Light it up and burn it all to the ground ♪ I'll cover the tracks And retrace my steps But my demons resurface And they take all that's left I'll cover the tracks And retrace my steps But my demons resurface And they take all that's left
