[Minor Guitar Intro] Friday night, Working and then clocking out, Taking the train turns to walking, Escape the loud noises, Erase the bad screaming, You're annoyed with, The habit that sits and follows, But can't seem to control, But when its controlled, Lust, greed, sloth breaks you out of it, Hooked on, Hopelessly clinging on... ... Hooked on, Your melancholic excitement... ... Hooked on, You're barely holding on... [Instrumental] You think, You're too far deep into, The flavor of temporary flowers, Blooms when you turn on your off switch, It stinks and reeks of despair, And unhappiness, Thanks to, Boredom and no resistance, Loss too many known men, That'll ride with you, To any adventure you go through, Such a disappointment Hooked on, Hopelessly clinging on... ... Hooked on, Your melancholic excitement... ... Hooked on, You're barely holding on... [Instrumental] Hands reached, Reaching to the emptiness, Helpless and hopeless, You're wondering when can you break out, For God sake just, Why, Why do we turn towards these bluffs, (Why) We're pushing away the ones that, (Why) Care and support us, (Why) Now we got nothing and, (Why) We are, (Why) Doing nothing but sulking, (Why) Showing how pathetic, (Why) We can be when we crash low, We're back on the hook again, Hooked on, (Ahhhhh...) Hopelessly clinging on... (Mesh up my brain some more) ... Hooked on, (Ahhhhh...) Your melancholic excitement... (Mesh up my brain some more) ... Hooked on, (Ahhhhh...) You're barely holding on... [Instrumental] [Stripped Down] (Hooked on) (Hopelessly clinging on...) (Ahhhhh...) (Hooked on) (Your melancholic excitement...) (Ahhhhh...) (Hooked on) (You're barely holding on...) [Build Up] [Chorus] (Disgusted,) (Rotten mentality,) (Overprotective of materials,) (That loses all its meaning,) (Integrating compounds,) (Not knowing you will make it,) (Still clinging on this one thing,) (Too desperate to change your ways,) Hooked on, Hopelessly clinging on... ... Hooked on, Your melancholic excitement... ... Hooked on, You're barely holding on... ... Hooked on, ... Hooked on, ...
