Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
My soul's been broken
The whole world's on my motherfucking shoulders
And I can't seem to control it
I can't contain it
And I just don't give a shit
You need to feel the way that I feel
Or you'll never fucking know it
Burn mother fucker, burn mother fucker, burn
You tried but you can't reach me
Burn mother fucker, burn mother fucker, burn
There's nothing you can teach me
In hell mother fucker, burn mother fucker, burn
I swear you're out to get me
Burn mother fucker, burn mother fucker, burn
I'd live but you won't let me, burn
Yeah, your life's been wasted, you'll die forsaken
You act like the world's on your shoulders
But it's not there so you fake it
Do you embrace it? How do you take it?
I'll never feel the way that you feel
I'd rather fucking break it
Burn mother fucker, burn mother fucker, burn
You try but you can't reach me
Burn mother fucker, burn mother fucker, burn
There's nothing you can teach me
In hell mother fucker, burn mother fucker, burn
I swear you're out to get me
Burn mother fucker, burn mother fucker, burn
I'd live but you won't let me
Burn mother fucker, burn mother fucker, burn
Burn mother fucker, burn mother fucker, burn
Burn mother fucker, burn mother fucker, burn
Burn mother fucker, burn
Burn

Burn mother fucker, burn mother fucker, burn
Burn mother fucker, burn mother fucker, burn

Burn mother fucker, burn mother fucker, burn
You try but you can't reach me
Burn mother fucker, burn mother fucker, burn
There's nothing you can teach me
In hell mother fucker, burn mother fucker, burn
I swear you're out to get me
Burn mother fucker, burn mother fucker, burn
I'd live but you won't let me, burn, burn

I legit used to do this when I was poor as shit and needed to exterminate the hell out of the spiders, mosquitos and shit in my apartment. Or at least when I wasn't in the mood to hone my sharpshooting skills with my airgun and risk property damage.
