| 07. By Myself What do I do to ignore them behind me? Do I follow my instincts blindly? Do I hide my pride from these bad dreams? And give into sad thoughts that are maddening? Do I sit here 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 nobody and live in loneliness? Because I can't hold on when I'm stretched so thin I make the right moves but I'm lost within I put out 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 the go blindly 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 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 How do you think I've lost so much I'm so afraid 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 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 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 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 |
