The Regret

I do not have a date when I wrote these lyrics.
It is possible that I wrote these lyrics for an intended The Slopin Fairy 7 song, based on my expulsion from New York Military Academy in early November of 2003. However, it seems that if I had written these lyrics that early, I would have used the title in The Fairy’s track listing because I was struggling to write new songs.

A more probably theory is that I wrote these lyrics between February to May of 2004, somewhat between the end of The Slopin Fairy 7 and the beginning of the Scapegoat era. These lyrics were probably written around the time of “Rage” and “Intro: The Great Cemetery”. These lyrics were never used not associated with a song though.

I wish I could keep away
All the fucking things I do
I wish I could take away
All the stupid shit said

I wish I didn’t have to leave
I know that I will miss this place
I wish I had just one more chance
I’d make the best of it

Fuck this place
I will never
Look at it
The way I did

My problems
My big mouth
I had it
I lost it

I wish I had listened
To what my friends had told me
I wish I had count to ten
Before I said that shit

Fuck this place
I will never
Look at it
The way I did

My problems
My big mouth
I had it
I lost it

Fuck the hat
Fuck the rank
Fuck the tours
Fuck those guys

Fuck this place
I will never
Look at it
The way I did

Fuck the hat
Fuck the rank
Fuck the tours
Fuck those guys

My problems
My big mouth
I had it
I lost it

I wish that I could just shut up
And march and salute those fucks
I wish that I could be
Just like everybody
