Forgotten thoughts of yesterday
Through my eyes I see the past

Well I don't know, I don't know I don't know why
I believe, I believe, I believe in the truth, from inside
Go away go away go away from me
Leave me alone
Ignorance spreads lies
How much will money buy
Well I'll take my time as I drift and die

Unwanted live my life a shame
Who's to blame for my mistakes

Well I don't know, I don't know I don't know why
I believe, I believe, I believe in the truth, from inside
Go away go away go away from me
Leave me alone
Ignorance spreads lies
How much will money buy
Well I'll take my time as I drift and die
As I drift and die, as I drift and die, as I drift and die

Ignorance spreads lies
How much will money bye
Well I'll take my time as I drift and die
As I drift and die, as I drift and die,
As I drift and die, as I drift and die
As I drift and die
