lyrics

trip down the stairs into hell, cathay de i miss your smell
a mixture of puke, beer, stale piss, fuck sweat and fear
adrenaline addicted, the blood leak from my head kinda concerned my friends
but at the time it felt so right, the music blaring on
now that desperation's gone, the desperation's gone
turn, tune the knob k-go, some alterna radio
strategic marketing hype, media, stereotype
has our music been castrated? yes
to you it may sound good, to me it sounds all wrong
the notes and chords sound similar, the same forbidden beat, but
the desperation's gone (the song's the same) but the desperation's gone
