I don’t know what makes me feel this way.
I don’t see what makes me look this way.
I don’t feel what makes me this way.
I am nothing, nothing more.

I can’t be a person I know!
I can’t be the one you knew.
So why don’t you just let it lie.
Why don’t you just let it die.
Why is reality always messing with me?

Why you always on me?
Goddamn why you always… me?
I can’t be the one I knew
Why can’t you just let it be?
(me be)
Why am I always on my back?
Why can’t I give myself some slack?

I can’t take this place no more!
I can’t feel this place no more!

No I won’t!
I can’t!
I couldn’t if I tried.

No I won’t do it no more,
I see that I am nothing more!

I’m dying just to believe,
there is something inside of me.
Why can’t I ever seem to see,
there’s some purpose beyond me.

I don’t know myself.
I can’t escape myself.
I can’t help myself.
I hate myself.

I can’t take this place no more!
I can’t feel this place no more!

There must be something wrong
Those little voices keep singing that song.
They never stop, they keep going on.
They have been singing for so very long.
I didn’t know.
I didn’t know,
it would turn out this way.

I won’t. I can’t. I couldn’t if I tried.
