Happiness in Self Destruction The Plot In You

[Verse 1]
Thirteen years old, addicted to cigarettes
And both his parents were scared to death when he walked through the door
Baptized at twelve, laughed it off
And swore he pissed in the water that had cleansed his soul
We'd been breaking into cars, taking stereos
And there he goes, down the alleyway, shit's not the same
I miss the days when violence and carelessness were no expense but shit's not the same

[Chorus]
Your heart may beat but you're not alive
And it makes me sick to see you all strung out
Desperate you take what you've been deprived
Happiness in self destruction
Your heart may beat but you're not alive
And it makes me sick to see you all strung out
Desperate you take what you've been deprived
Happiness in self destruction

[Verse 2]
And do you remember the time you took 100 bucks from your momma's purse and we were so excited
But you came and got your older brother to buy us some beer and it was so clear
I fucking hate myself for letting you get hooked on all the shit that you were on
I promise you next time I'll be strong
I cherish you, I remember every time you bailed me out
And it's safe to say I won't be bailing now
