Good Riddance - Darkest Days Lyrics

Pulling down toxins from the atmosphere,
Making all of my decisions based on fear.
[Dirty]: I never gave a f*ck about what I could be.
[Clean]: I never even cared about what I could be.
Declared a private war on authority.
I got what you need, 'cause I'm a bad seed,
Running on adrenaline and living on greed.
I'm tired of being, I'm sick of my scene.
Looking for the end or a place I can finally come clean.

'Cause I remember
One time, something to live for,
Now so long ago.
Faces always are changing;
Lies and disguise for the things we know.
One time, something to live for.
Somehow I've lost my way.
Those times I pissed away now
Echo in my darkest days.

Walking every day, thinking that I know best,
Wearing my contempt like a bullet-proof vest.
On my way I'm going to make it all mine
Rolling in the gutter just to kill some time
But I was dead-wrong, and now it's all gone.
I won't become the fool that I've abused for so long.
The line's played out, I've got to get back,
Chase away the negative, and throw away the useless track.

'Cause I remember
One time, something to live for,
Now so long ago.
Faces always are changing;
Lies and disguise for the things we know.
One time, something to live for.
Somehow I've lost my way.
Those times I pissed away now
Echo in my darkest days.

I've seen things I hope I never see again.
(There's another place to fall.)
I don't want to have to bury any more friends.
(There's another friend to call.)
Living on the edge of a sign of our times,
(There's a world beyond yourself.)
Dying in the wreckage we create with our crimes.
(There are those who tried to help.)

One time, something to live for,
Now so long ago.
Faces always are changing;
Lies and disguise for the things we know.
One time, something to live for.
Somehow I've lost my way.
Those times I pissed away now
Echo in my darkest days.
