verse 1
D
I want a beat down
G
But just for the education

I want a three-way

But just for the conversation
There's a lot more things to say that way

With my own reflection in the mirror

I want to get lost but never found

A permanent defection
From myself now

I don't need no love

Even if it never heals

I wanna break

Something's gotta break

D
Don't wanna live itinerant
I wanna be carcinogen

I wanna get smoked like a cigarette
D
So line me up and knock me down
I've lived too long in this small town
G
I want to break, something's gotta break
D
I don't need more character
No Telemundo dramas here
G
I wanna breathe in reality
D
I drive all night to disconnect
'cause if I don't you're in my head
G
The highway signs they clear my mind

You can roll on me now
