Lyrics

Dreamin' of the things I could be
As it seems in my dreams
But I never get to see, or tell, am I in hell?

Locked alone with all my problems

I really need somebody to listen, to get me out

When I need them, they show up just to beat me
They kill my mind and feed it, to my despair, they heed it
When I need them, they only know to beat me

I never am receiving, the hope that I'm needin'

And when I am
On the verge of death again
I turn up with a smile
Because they'll break me if I speak up
The world will erase me if I cry out
 
And when I can
Destroy it all again
I will take my chance
Because I'm done being the pitied one
The artificial love they give me was never enough

Now year after year I keep writing
Got the lyrics in my mind, but now I hide them
'Cause they say I need to shut up
Say I shouldn't sing
It's just me against the world
And some lyrics full of stings

When I need them, they show up just to beat me
They kill my mind and feed it, to my despair, they heed it
When I need them, they only know to beat me

I never am receiving, the hope that I'm needin'

And when I am
On the verge of death again
I turn up with a smile
Because they'll break me if I speak up
The world will erase me if I cry out

And when I can
Destroy it all again
I will take my chance
Because I'm done being the pitied one
The artificial love they give me was never enough


They tell keep it to yourself
Weep all by yourself
Keep it to yourself
Bleed all by yourself (x4)

And when I am
On the verge of death again
I turn up with a smile
Because they'll break me if I speak up
The world will erase me if I cry out

And when I can
Destroy it all again
I will take my chance
Because I'm done being the pitied one
The artificial love they give me was never enough
