What do I do to ignore what’s behind me? Do I follow my fate to escape blindly? Do I hide my pride away from these bad dreams And give in to sad thoughts that are maddening? Do I let it go and try to stand it? Or do I try to catch them red-handed? Do I trust some and get fooled by phoniness Or do I trust none and live in loneliness? Sunlight burns the skin of sleeping men I make the right moves but I'm lost within I put on my daily facade but then I just end up getting hurt again
By myself (myself) I ask why, but in my mind I find I can't rely on myself
(myself) I ask why, but in my mind I find I can't rely on myself
I can't hold on To what I want when I'm stretched so thin It's all too much to take in I can't hold on To anything watching everything spin With thoughts of failure sinking in
If I Turn my back I'm defenseless And to give into fate seems senseless If I hide my pride and let it all go on then they'll Take from me till everything is gone If I let them go I'll be outdone But if I try to catch them I'll be outrun If I'm killed by the questions like a cancer Then I'll be buried in the silence of the answer

How do you think, that I've lost so much Always afraid, that I'm out of touch How do you expect, I will know what to do When all I know, is what you tell me to
Don't you (know) I can't tell you how to make it (go) No matter what I do how hard I (try) I can't seem to convince myself (why) I'm stuck on the outside
