Grew up too fast,
embraced a world without a creed
but can't you hear me drowning
in a life I just can't lead?

(I only wanted to find myself . . .
Why won't you let me find myself?)

Too much to remember,
not enough to forget
Will the price I've paid,
cleanse me of my debt?

(Wash it away�
just wash it all away�)

I've done my time,
with nothing to show
I'm ready to move on
now, let me go.

(Oh God,
I've paid the price�)

This face in the mirror
and the writings on the walls
make me feel
so goddamned old
make me bitter
make me cold

And I don't like
this face I see
because there's still
too much of you
trapped inside of me.

So don't tempt with your promises
Or try to give your empty token,
Because in all these years,
you've left me nothing
But a spirit broken,

(You offered what you couldn't give)

In all my tattered messes
That I have let you create
I cannot go on anymore
Stumbling in this state

This face in the mirror
and the writings on the walls
make me feel
so goddamned old
make me bitter
make me cold

And I don't like
this face I see
because there's still
too much of you
trapped inside of me.

(The face looks back
In shattered disarray,
I leave you here,
Because it's now,
I walk away.)
