SO COLD LOST & BARE
THROUGH THIS TUNNEL I TRAVEL
OF COURSE ALONE
ITS MY HOME
FULL OF SMOKE
YET I STILL SEE YOU THERE
BUT I BLOCK THOSE VOICES OUT
BECAUSE I WISH I DIDN’T CARE

ABOUT A BEACH
AboUT A CAR
ABOUT A FRIEND
ABOUT TOMARROW
WHAT IS THIS I FEEL

I FORCE A PATH THATS NOT BEFORE ME
LIKE I AM SOMETHING ABOVE WHAT'S REAL
WHAT ANOTHER OR ANYONE MAY THINK
CAN ONLY BORE ME
WHATS LEFT OF ME IS ONLY STEEL

I HAVE CHOICES FREEDOM CLAIMS
BUT A VICTOM OF REGRETS
ARE MY REMAINS
IM LIKE A GENIUS
EXCEPT I THINK I KNOW EVERYTHING
BUT I CANNOT FIND MYSELF
AND I CANNOT FEEL A THING

AND ILL NEVER GET ANYWHERE IN LIFE
IN CIRCLES I SEARCH FOR MY DREAMS
IF ANY I MIGHT FIND
ILL STAY FOREVER
STUCK IN A PRISON
ILL REMAIN IN PAIN
25 YEARS TO LIFE
ALONE NOW FOREVER
JUST ME AND MY QUIVERING KNIFE

I HATE THIS
BUT FOR YOU
I KNOW
THATS HARD TO SEE
IM NOT SURPRISED
THAT YOUR NOTHING LIKE ME
DONT TELL ME TWICE
AND LET ME BE.
