So I see I found myself pinned up against another
Impenetrable wall
No—
It won't take long at all
Short talk and go
Don't look so shocked
Come on!
It's time
And even though I think this could be our goodbye
There's defiance in your eyes
Ah, of course, it must be pitiful to see
Someone with a face like this
Even if that somebody is me
Laugh!
Surely you know the moves
To disgracing, beating, mixing trash with blood and dirt
And even so
I wouldn't mind at all
But enter Mother Mary robbing me of my cathartic resolve
It's a dead-end endeavor, it's time you understood
That this whole situation won't bring you any good
Oh, I know that your heart's beating faster than it should
But I can't let you in, wouldn't even if I could
So I see I found myself trying to win another
Inconsequential fight
Hah!
My bark turned out to be much harsher than the bite
Alright
Sometimes life doesn't give a damn about how hard you try
But forgive my helpless spite
What's the point of this self pity
It's not pretty
Being part of bleeding hearts
Just wasting time
Waiting for a sign
Hey, hey, is this weird or what?
This familiar feeling ties my insides up in knots
It's silly; No!
Occam, bring out the saw
'Cause I've got some doubts to cut
Before I grasp on to this thin straw
It's a little suspicious, I'd like to know some more
Maybe we're not as different as I believed before
Has it been a month, really? One week turned into four
Call it my wishful thinking, I see an open door
It's a dead-end endeavor, of course I understand
Seems the devil has found business for my idle hand
It's unlikely, you tell me, I tell you it connects
Call it my wishful thinking, I call it common sense
♪
It's a wicked endeavor, I've always understood
That this whole situation won't bring me any good
For a moment my heart's beating faster than it should
But I can't let you in, even though I wish I could
I'm not one to see people as means to meet an end
But some ventures require a sacrificial lamb
This particular troubled youth on the diagram
Found his footing in saying 'I need, therefore I am'
