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
Speak of mutally assured destruction
Nice story
Tell it to Reader's Digest!

Feeling paranoid
True enemy or false friend?
Anxiety's attacking me
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

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

Feeling claustrophobic
Like the walls are closing in
Blood stains on my hands
And I don't know where I've been
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

Well, me, it's nice talking to myself
A credit to dementia
Some day 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!

Feeling paranoid
True enemy or false friend?
Anxiety's attacking me
My air is getting thin
Feeling claustrophobic
Like the walls are closing in
Blood stains on my hands
And I don't know where I've been

Once you committed me
Now you've acquitted me
Claiming validity
For your stupidity
I'm chomping at the bit
I'm sharpening the axe
Here I come again
Sweating bullets

Is it just me, or does this give anyone else the feeling that this is kinda descriptive of what San might feel the first time she pilots an Eva into battle against her siblings?

*Duh-NA-nuh!*

I love this song. Pity the best riffs on the album (on CtE itself) are in a song with one of the silliest subjects since the stuff on TMBG:Flood. I kind of turn off my brain when I listen to Megadeth's stuff...kinda like how I do when Lords of Acid is in the CD player.

I <em>love</em> that song.
