[Verse 1]

Hello, me, meet the real me

And my misfit's way of life

A dark, black past is my

Most valued possession

Hindsight is always 20-20

But looking back, it's still a bit fuzzy

You speak of mutually assured destruction

Nice story, tell it to Reader's Digest

[Chorus]

Feeling paranoid, true enemy or false friend?

Anxiety's attacking me and my air is getting thin

I'm in trouble for the things I haven't got to yet

I'm chomping at the bit and my palms are getting wet

Sweating bullets

[Verse 2]

Hello, me, it's me again

You can subdue, but never tame me

It gives me a migraine headache

Sinking down to your level

Yeah, just keep on thinking it's my fault

And stay an inch or two out of kicking distance

Mankind has got to know

His limitations

[Chorus]

Feeling claustrophobic like the walls are closing in

Bloodstains on my hands and I don't know where I've been

Oh, I'm in trouble for the things I haven't got to yet

I'm sharpening the axe and my palms are getting wet

Sweating bullets

[Instrumental Break]

[Guitar Solo: Dave Mustaine]

[Bridge]

I hear it in here...

Blood stains on my... hands

The big axe...

Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha...

Sweating, sweating

Sweating, sweating

Sweating, sweating

[Verse 3]

Well, me, it's nice talking to myself

A credit to dementia

Someday, you too, will know my pain

And smile its black-toothed grin

If the war inside my head

Won't take a day off, I'll be dead

My icy fingers claw your back

Here I come again

[Chorus]

Feeling paranoid, true enemy or false friend?

Anxiety's attacking me, and my air is getting thin

Feeling claustrophobic like the walls are closing in

Bloodstains on my hands and I don't know where I've been

[Outro]

Once you've committed me (Committed me)

Now you've acquitted me (Acquitted me)

Claiming validity (Validity)

For your stupidity (Stupidity)

I'm chomping at the bit

I'm sharpening the axe

Oh, here I come again, whoa!

Sweating bullets
