I turned from the world, but the world turns me They show you the way, but I can't even breathe So, I grit my gnashing teeth against a fence I cannot see And I wish to fucking hell there was no in between Secondly, but first of all, just because and why I list the constant questions I kept them all inside But you won't give your thoughts to me so I won't give you mine And you won't waste your words on me so I won't waste your time You betray everything when you refuse to see that The truth of your trial is lost so listlessly You watch us go by as we laugh and we cry You look down and realize you're not who you think Could there be anything? Embracing the pendulum so I do not fall behind And I'm weaker than the next in line So I'll do my best to represent the evidence of all that I've spoken With a withered, twisted finger you're turnin' back the time With a withered, twisted finger you push 'em all in line You smash to fuckin' bits your world when everything's alright You smash to fuckin' bits my world when everything is fine With a withered, twisted finger you're turnin' back the time With a withered, twisted finger you push 'em all in line You smash to fuckin' bits your world when everything's alright You smash to fuckin' bits my world when everything is fine And you betray everything when you refuse to see that The truth of your trial is lost so listlessly You watch us go by as we laugh and we cry You look down and realize you're not who you think So could there be anything? Embracing the pendulum so I do not fall behind And I'm weaker than the next in line So I'll do my best to represent the evidence of all that I've spoken Watch the world go by you Each time Feel this one day, forget the next And live life through lies Empty inside Wondering why And just give it up you're not for real Don't know a thing about how I feel You're just a lie because you try To believe What you won't see and nothing's true If you give up and if you lose And run away when things get gray I won't be left when you confess When you admit you're full of shit I can't comply and take your side I understand that's all you have But it's just not enough There'll never be anything To justify your wasted life You've fallen so far behind And we're weak as our one best try So I'll let it fall and die away and whatever's Left is forgotten Forgotten
