[Verse 1]

These are all reasons why, I'll be exploding tonight

And why this chip on my shoulder feels like a mile wide

It's from the overworked, overtime compromise


[Chorus]

So, I'm looking tonight, for some peace of mind

Maybe then I'll find, some strength inside

'Cause I've lost any hope of ever changing

I'm a short fuse burning


[Post-Chorus]

I'm a short fuse burning


[Verse 2]

And remember who I, who I used to be

Because this one-trick ponies so strung-on a routine

And stuck on repeat

Like you wouldn't even believe


[Chorus]

So, I'm looking tonight, for some peace of mind

Maybe then I'll find, some strength inside

'Cause I've lost any hope of ever changing

I'm a short fuse burning


[Post-Chorus]

Hey everybody, don't forget me, forget me

Hey everybody, don't forget me, I forgot who I used to be

And I'm a short fuse burning, I'm so close to exploding

So, everybody, don't forget me, I forgot who I used to be


[Guitar Solo]


[Chorus]

So, I'm looking tonight, for some peace of mind

Maybe then I'll find, some strength inside

'Cause I've lost any hope of ever changing

I'm a short fuse burning


[Post-Chorus]

Hey everybody, don't forget me, forget me

Hey everybody, don't forget me, I forgot who I used to be

And I'm a short fuse burning, I'm so close to exploding

Hey everybody, don't forget me, I forgot who I used to be
