Song lyrics
've come to my senses,
That I've become senseless,
I could give you lessons on how to ruin your friendships,
Every last conviction, I smoked them all away,
I drank my frustrations down the drain, out of the way,
So I sit and wait and wonder,
Does anyone else feel like me?
Someone so tired of their routines and disappearing self-esteems,

I'll sing along,
Yeah with every emergency,
Just sing along,
I'm the king of catastrophies,
I'm so far gone,
That deep down inside I think it's fine by me,
I'm my own worst enemy

I could be an expert on co-dependency,
I could write the best book on underage tragedy,
I've been spending my time at the local liquor store,
I've been sleeping nightly on my best friends kitchen floor,
So I sit and wait and wonder,
Does anyone else feel like me?
I'm so over-dosed on apathy and burnt out on sympathy.


I'll sing along,
Yeah with every emergency,
Just sing along,
I'm the king of catastrophies,
I'm so far gone,
That deep down inside I think it's fine by me,
I'm my own worst enemy

Let the meaning slip away
Lost my faith in another day,
Self deprication seems okay,
I never thought I'd make it anyway

I'll sing along,
Yeah with every emergency,
Just sing along,
I'm the king of catastrophies,
I'm so far gone,
That deep down inside I think it's fine by me,
That I'm my own worst enemy

That I'm my own worst enemy
Cause Im my own worst enemy
And im my own worst Enemy
Cause im my own worst enemy
And Im my Own worst enemy.

It's nice to see a bit of ska in the mainstream for once.

Not a bad song... the singer sounds so much like one of the guys from Busted in the 3rd versey bit though. I thought it was Busted the first time I heard it...
