Your head is quicksand and you sink into it
Now you're misled with no way out
Your heart is distant, you throw yourself against the wall
To feel anything at all
Your life's a labyrinth of places you've never been
Follow one wall to the end
You're coming up for breath, looking for a hand
You're running down a path you don't understand
In this unforgiving world
Break your neck looking back to see what you had
But never face the facts, 'cause they make you mad
Now you're right back where you were
Your bed's a prison, your spine is twisted up in knots
You toss and turn in all your thoughts
When your mind is unkind and you can't reason with it
You pick sides and cut ties but you're still losing
You're coming up for breath, looking for a hand
You're running down a path you don't understand
In this unforgiving world
Break your neck looking back to see what you had
But never face the facts, 'cause they make you mad
Now you're right back where you were
Don't follow me, 'cause I'll lose my way again
Just fall away, 'cause you'll never know what could've been
Don't follow me, 'cause this road leads to an end
Just fall away, 'cause you'll end up back where you began
You're coming up for breath, looking for a hand
You're running down a path you don't understand
In this unforgiving world
Break your neck looking back to see what you had
But never face the facts, 'cause they make you mad
Now you're right back where you were
Don't follow me, 'cause I'll lose my way again
Just fall away, 'cause you'll end up back where you began
