[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
I'm a short fuse burning

[Verse 2]
And remember who I, who I used to be
Because this one-trick pony's so strung on 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
