Those people that you live with
They won’t let you dress the way you want
They don’t like the music you listen to
They claim the choices that you make are only mistakes
You wonder how much more you can take

Those people that you go to school with
They ignore you everyday
Except when you make a mistake
There’s always someone laughing in your face
Lies and rumors, they don’t care
You wonder how much more you can take

Those people you hang out with
They stab you in the back
They can dry your tears after another lie
But they can’t take the words back
Betrayal leaves us broken after the final cut
You wonder how much more, how much?

And you don’t have a job
You don’t have a car
You don’t have any real friends
You can’t play the guitar
You tried to start a band
But the public claims your voice sounds like a dying cat
You’ve made enemies with the most popular kid in school
Someone called you a punk the other day-
You screamed “Liar! I’m a geek!” in their face
Everyone thinks you’re insane...

Those voices in your head
Haunting you with every word you’ve ever said
Drowning in yourself over and over again
Until you wake up, one last time, that final time
You’ve been dreaming all along
You wonder how much you can take-
When this entire world is nothing but fake

<--- fall into my patterened tears... [return]
<---<--- catch me as i fall? [AA]
