I said I sometimes feel like I'm hopelessly down the line
Can't be doing with life, can't be doing with time
But I take no chances and I take no fun
From any single thing I've ever goddamm done
Said I make no promises but I'd neva keep 'em anyway
What the hell do you want with me what the hell can you say
Living in a world that never had a chance
I'm living in a house with all the doors kicked down
I'm falling down into a spiral of depression and despair
Clawing at my innocence darkness beyond compare
And the world in which we live is only constant in our dreams
BUt the fabric of my existence comes undone at the seams
So I lose myself in thoughts of a single advance
And I lose myself in dances, neva thought that I could dance
BUt what with all the movements and the poetry we make
The wreckage of our innocence is all that we can take
from our overbearing confidence we build it up inside
And twist it out of shape into moulds of hate and pride
So when I look out of my window through the pouring rain
Well tell me what do you think I saw?!!
Everytime I build it up they knock it down again
'Til I can't abide to see it tumble and can't stand to see it raised
But what with all the evidence mounting up in my defence
And the everlasting reaches of my lack of common sense
I think I might be better off if I just left you the fuck alone!
Said I sometimes feel like an angel
But sometimes like a child
Hesitant, expectant yet excited
Turning the page to a new chapter
Cut me out until I walk alone
Every night I walk alone
Every night I stay at home
Every time I feel in need
'Cept every time I feel at ease
So when I set myself up for the fall of a lifetime
It sometimes feels like I could wait for a lifeline
But other times feelings exceed
And other times hearts decrease
Without question or pause
They just march into the claws
Of the demon in my dreams
So wait up my dear
Fire's burning, sit near
And tell me of your childhood and your innocence lost
Tell me things I always knew would neva come true
That are waiting right before my eyes
It's a shame
BUt now that I'm the same
As every other person on the planet
I feel like lashing out
Every night I walk alone
Every night I stay at home
Every time I feel in need
'Cept every time I feel at ease
So hit me
Make me crawl
Heaven knows
Everything you have is all a figment of your dreams
And you'd better realise soon that everything ain't what it seems
Or this world'll chew you up and spit you out into the black
And the shock of your revolution could give you a heart attack
But me, I'm alright 'cos I know what's going on
'Cept I can't find the patience that others seem to have
Just to keep fighting to stay
Alive!
