BY_MYSELF
WHAT DO I DO TO IGNORE THEM BEHIND ME?
DO I FOLLOW MY INSTINCTS BLINDLY?
DO I HIDE MY PRIDE FROM THESE BAD DREAMS
AND GIVE IN TO SAD THOUGHTS THAT ARE MADDENING?
DO I / SIT HERE AND TRY TO STAND IT?
OR DO I TRY TO CATCH THEM RED - HANDED?
DO I TRUST SOME AND GET FOOLED BY PHONINESS,
OR DO I TRUST NOBODY AND LIVE IN LONELINESS?
BECAUSE I CAN'T HOLD ON WHEN I'M STRETCHED SO THIN
I MAKE THE RIGHT MOVES BUT I'M LOST WITHIN
I PUT ON MY DAILY FAÇADE BUT THEN
I JUST END UP GETTING HURT AGAIN
BY MYSELF (MYSELF)
I ASK WHY, BUT IN MY MIND I FIND
I CAN'T RELY ON MYSELF
I CAN'T LOOK AROUND
IT'S TOO MUCH TO TAKE IN
I CAN'T HOLD ON
WHEN I'M STRETCHED SO THIN
I CAN'T SLOW DOWN
WATCHING EVERYTHING SPIN
I CAN'T LOOK PAST
IT'S STARTING OVER AGAIN
IF I TURN MY BACK I'M DEFENSELESS
AND TO GO BLINDLY SEEMS SENSELESS
IF I HIDE MY PRIDE AND LET IT ALL GO ON THEN THEY'LL
TAKE FROM ME 'TILL EVERYTHING IS GONE
IF I LET THEM GO I'LL BE OUTDONE
BUT IF I TRY TO CATCH THEM I'LL BE OUTRUN
IF I'M KILLED BY THE QUESTIONS LIKE A CANCER
THEN I'LL BE BURIED IN THE SILENCE OF THE ANSWER
BY MYSELF (MYSELF)
I ASK WHY, BUT IN MY MIND I FIND
I CAN'T RELY ON MYSELF
I CAN'T LOOK AROUND
IT'S TOO MUCH TO TAKE IN
I CAN'T HOLD ON
WHEN I'M STRETCHED SO THIN
I CAN'T SLOW DOWN
WATCHING EVERYTHING SPIN
I CAN'T LOOK PAST
IT'S STARTING OVER AGAIN
DON'T YOU...
DON'T YOU (KNOW)
I CAN'T TELL YOU HOW TO MAKE IT (GO)
NO MATTER WHAT I DO, HOW HARD I (TRY)
I CAN'T SEEM TO CONVINCE MYSELF (WHY)
I'M STUCK ON THE OUTSIDE
