Once there was a nothing The voices rang so true The knowledge that was lacking Cut innocence in two
Everything seemed too good to be right When I was 16, I was too uptight
Now disappointment's shadow Reveals a colder time A harder kind of living In disillusion How can it go? The fear of the night Now I am grown, I'm just too uptight
A slow and noble breakdown of personality Careless, heartless, soulless, no dignity My days are flown and I can't recall Feeling so alone was I so uptight
Death creeps ever closer A darkness falls in me A scared fragmented loner Unholy A night with no end an echoing sea I'll think about me How I'm too uptight
