I'm an accident waiting to happen
A riot about to explode
A song that stops every foot tappin'
The fork at the end of your road
The knife in your heart that's been twisted
The goals just outside of your reach
That person you've always insisted
Has nothing but hatred to preach
I'm the ultimate fly in your ointment
That itch you can never quite scratch
The bringer of pure disappointment
The break you can never quite catch
So next time you see your reflection
Look past the exterior view
Get rid of this whole damn collection
As all of it's stemming from you
