[Verse 1]
In my perfect isolation
I can stay here for a while
Antidotes and revelations
Just extend my own exile

[Chorus 1]
Wasting away, the world's right in front of me
Funny, you should say that it's all in my head
Wasting away, we're hitting rock bottom
And going down in flames, well, it's not that bad

[Verse 2]
With my lack of observation
I can stay in here for days
Could you find my motivation?
I can't see it through this haze

[Chorus 1]

[Chorus 2]
Wishing away, the world's right in front of me
Call me anyway, ’cause it's all in my head
Wasting away, we're hitting rock bottom
And going down in flames, well, it's not that bad

[Bridge]
Wasting all my days
What would Ivan say?
Wasting all my days
What would Ivan say?

[Verse 3]
Wasting away, we're hitting rock bottom
And call me anyway, ’cause I got two friends
Wasting away, we're going down together
And all in all it's not so bad
All in all it's not so bad

It's hard to know
Where to start and where to go
I will never say these words again

[Chorus 1]

[Chorus 2]

[Outro]
Wasting away
Call me anyway
Wasting away
Going down in flames, well, it's not that bad

[Outro]

Wishing away

The Offspring

The Offspring is an American punk rock band from Huntington Beach, California, formed in 1984. The current line-up of the band Brian Keith “Dexter” Holland (vocals, guitar), Kevin “Noodles” Wasserman (lead guitar), Greg “Greg K.” Kriesel (bass), and Pete Parada (drums).

The Offspring is currently one of the biggest punk rock acts, along with the likes of Green Day, Rancid, and Sublime, all of which come from California. The Offspring and other groups are credited for reviving main-stream punk rock, though it isn’t as popular as it was in the ‘80s.
