[Verse 1]
It's too much, or not enough
Maybe this whole goddamn song's messed up
And anyway, maybe this is just another waste of time
Waiting 'round for something better
Analyzing every letter
Flitting back and forth, every chord and every half-assed rhyme

[Chorus]
'Cause it's one thing or another
I don't even know why I bother
These knobs and dials define
My whole life
'Cause it's one thing or another
I don't even know why I bother
All that I say is fucking trite

[Verse 2]
Consider thе possibility that you've been had, but not by me
I'm no kid
Then stop acting likе it
This course has long since been retired
So from now on I'll (you'll) deny it
"I don't care. It's all good." (Say it's all good. Say you don't care)
"I ended up right where I knew I would." (Pretend that there's life still behind your stare)
[Chorus]
'Cause it's one thing or another
I don't even know why I (you) bother
But don't you dare pity me (The darkness lies, still and deep)
Can't you see
That's it's one thing or another? I don't even know why I (you) bother
This is just apathy

[Bridge]
I'm sick, and tired
Of holding fire
When all I feel is violence
And I'm only happy when
All I see is the back of my eyelids
Black, immaculate, patterned silence

[Chorus]
'Cause it's one thing or another
I don't even know why I (you) bother
When will this finally cease?
'Cause it's one thing or another
I don't even know why I (you) bother

[Outro]
All I know will soon turn to dust
And yet you claim my apathy's not just
