Those voices yelling And the pain is overwhelming It's a fault line And yeah I'm guessing That I should be kind of happy It's a fault of mine With all the tension You still keep me second guessing 'Cause I'm so benign (Go on, go on, go) And yeah I know It's kind of hard to let it go It's all so asinine (Go on, go on, go) We have to figure out Another way to go So I can follow, so I can follow We have to figure out Another way to go Betray and degrade me now I'll savor how This emptiness defines you And take from this tortured sound My hands are bound This shallowness confines you I'm never the same I'm never enough There's something dead inside me I fell all alone And couldn't get up With no one there to guide me We have to figure out Another way to go So I can follow, so I can follow We have to figure out Another way to go Betray and degrade me now I'll savor how This emptiness defines you And take from this tortured sound My hands are bound This shallowness confines you I'm so sick You make me sick I'm so sick You make me sick I'm never the same I'm never enough There's something dead inside me Betray and degrade me now I'll savor how This emptiness defines you And take from this tortured sound My hands are bound This shallowness confines you Sick You make me sick Sick You make me sick
