Song 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 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 its people's mindless games.
So pardon me while I burn and rise above the flame.
Pardon me, pardon me... They'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," 
'Cause lately I've been thinking of combustication
As a welcome vacation from 
The burdens of the planet Earth
Like gravity, hypocrisy, and the perils of being in 3-D
But thinking so much differently

Pardon me while I burst into flames
I've had enough of the world and its people's mindless games
So pardon me while I burn and rise above the flame
Pardon me, pardon me. They'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 its people's mindless games
So pardon me while I burn and rise above the flame
Pardon me, pardon me... They'll never be the same

Pardon me...
Never be the same...   yeah.

This song is one of my all time favorites. The lyrics are so weighted and jam packed with emotion and meaning that i would have loved the song no matter who sang it. However the fact that brandon boyd belted and whispered all of those notes makes the song a lot better in my book.
