It's not an ego
I'm not trying to mess you up
I just want to be where
Soon is never quick enough

So I'm feeling what I feel
(But maybe that's because I'm just a...)
just a little tired of being used
(You get it? You hearing me when I say...)

Hey now you losers
What's in this for me?
I'm only after what I feel should be mine anyway

So cut it, cut it...(you keep the cut, you keep...)
Cutting, cutting...(can't cut the noise that keeps...)
Coming, coming...(because it won't stop...)
Running, running...(it will never stop...)

Because every time I open myself to a friend
I always leave my trust to take
But now I swear to you that this will never happen again
And to myself... I'm sorry for it all

I fail to be (what you need from me)
I fail to see (what I fail to be)

I don't need your help
or need your sympathy
...I think it's time you found somebody else

When everybody's gone
You'd best be moving on
...I think it's time you found somebody else

I'll fail to be (what you need from me)
I'll never see (what you need to see)

It never shall refrain
It always comes again
It's nice to know you're easily entertained

I'm glad to treat you right
comfort in the night
It's good to see you're easily entertained

Why does this always happen?
I never meant to be a social call
Whatever happened to everybody else?
Sometimes I feel like the last one...

You don't like what I do? Then keep me away
This little contribution won't make a difference to me anyway
So don't push me, I've got nothing to lose

Cut it to the bone
I'll spend my time alone
I've found a way and now I'm going home

So don't try to make me be
What you can never be
I've found a way and now I'm going home...

This life, and all the things I'd known
Turned away, and left behind
The truth was buried long ago
Memories fade in passing time

For years, I felt my solitude
Never seemed to leave my side
My way was lost forever then
All my dreams were cast aside

I turn away but the vision of truth stains my eyes
I try to run but the image cuts through my disguise

Beneath the emptiness, reveals my bitterness
I cannot soon forget, this dream's not over yet
In the land of my birth, I am still touching the earth

The fears that kept me far away
Slowly die and draw me near
The past I sought to bury deep
Comes again to fill my need

I cast away all the stones that carried me down
I will return to the life that my past tried to drown

Beneath the emptiness, reveals my bitterness
I cannot soon forget, this dream's not over yet
In the land of my birth, I am still touching the earth

Where do I go from here
My thoughts are stuck within my ears

I can count on my mind
To let me down

Deeper within
The voices sound

Where do I crawl to now
My tongue betrays my mind somehow

I can count on my mind
To let me down

Deeper within
The voices sound

Can you...see my being
When you...look at me
Man you...twisted kind
Why I...see so blind

What do I want to be
Traded my legs for fruitless seeds

I can count on my mind
To let me down

Deeper within
The voices sound
