[Verse 1]
Relaxation is my nemesis
I'm not a nihilist, that's just how I exist
Relaxation's the destroying choice
In which I'd have no voice, and I avoid like poison
Because relaxation's not a motivation
It's disintegration, it's annihilation
An evil twin I'm not believin' in
And I'm not giving in 'cause it's oblivion
[Verse 2]
Relaxation is just television
Where they sell a vision, that's not my decision
Relaxation isn't in my interests
To be gone in splinters, like atomic winters
'Cause if I'd relax, you'd split me with an axe
You'd hurl me off your backs, I'd last an hour max
If I'd dared slow down beforе I turned around
You'd hurl me through the ground, I'd havе no face or sound
So relaxation's not a nice vacation
It's the swift invasion force the world's impatient for
It's not my friend, it's just my brutal end
And I can not give in 'cause it's oblivion
[Verse 3]
Relaxation is a prize they offer
Then they'd pry me off and hide me in a coffin
Because relaxation means you'd all be leavin'
I'd be hurt and freezin', murdered for no reason
Relaxation's just a worm they bait me with
To earn the faithlessness they burn to hate me with
If I stopped sweating, you'd make sure I'm getting
Just some last bloodletting then a fast beheading
And I'd tumble quickly and I'd cry out sickly
But you'd all be gone before the lights came on
It's a fatal sin, the way it's always been
So I cannot give in 'cause it's oblivion
[Bridge]
If I relaxed the shield and left my back revealed
You'd split me right in half, you'd spill my guts and laugh
So I'd be dead if lazy but you said I'm crazy
It'd be suicide, you know it's true inside
[Verse 4]
So relaxation's not a nice vacation
When the world's just waiting for your violation
It's an evil twin I'm not believin' in
And can't be living in so I'm not giving in
It's not what I'd intend, I'd lie if I'd pretend
So though I'll never win, whichever rides begin
I'll roll my eyes again and guard my sides again
Relaxing makes me tense because it's violence
And that's why relaxation is my nemesis
On their retired list is not how I'd exist
Relaxation's not a motivation
It's disintegration, it's annihilation
It's not anything but where the end begins
And I can not give in 'cause it's oblivion
[Outro]
It'd be suicide, I know what's true inside
So I can not give in 'cause it's oblivion
It'd be suicide, I know what's true inside
So I can not give in 'cause it's oblivion
It's not anything but where the end begins
So I can not give in 'cause it's oblivion
