Story Behind the Song
"The writing of this song began when I started tapping my foot one day at practice and Jon started singing over it. That part became the intro of the song. Believe it or not, the line 'my damned life, what a mess' used to be 'stupid bitch, kiss my ass!'" - Rob Demisch, Residue Lead Guitarist
Lyrics
"Venting"
This one goes out to all of those who left me behind,
Left me alone, left me dumb, and left me blind,
Fuck off.
Forgotten, that's where I stand,
Misshapen, I'm not all there,
Well I'm broken, softer than an egg,
Disformed, I only got one leg,
Piece of mind is not my state,
I very badly need a break,
I could use some time to actually see,
Someone who really cares for me.
I need some time, to figure out my mind,
I'd really like to be, without this agony,
I'm tired of all my grief, someone give relief,
Cuz it's time to put an end, it's time to make amends,
Cuz I feel broken, and shattered, like a piece of glass,
My damned life, what a mess.
I need some time, to figure out my mind,
I'd really like to be, without this agony,
I'm tired of all my grief, someone give relief,
Cuz it's time to put an end, it's time to make amends,
Cuz I feel broken, and shattered, like a piece of glass,
My damned life, what a mess.
Please accept the part of me that was never meant to be,
My life has lost its goal, I lost my heart, I lost my soul,
I never wanted any of this, I never expected any of that,
If this is what love is, then take it back,
It wasn't really worth all the bullshit on my back.
I'm alone, I'm alone, I'm alone.
The part of me that was never meant to be,
My life has lost its goal, I lost my heart, I lost my soul.
I'm along, I'm alone, I'm alone, Fuck, I'm alone.
Thank God I'm alone, I don't need any of you.
