Take away my halos Take away my emotions Take away my devils All my pride and devotion Take away my silence And feel my pain As it grows up from under This voice that I have strained Retaliate with violence As my body grows numb To these fears I've created Now here it comes again I cannot believe the pain As it rips me from what's sane I can't deal with my own thoughts Yet I don't know what is wrong All these things that I have learned Build an unsatisfying urge To change back what I have done And all my life I've just been dumb Take away my freedom Disappointing sight Just give me one good reason To believe in what you've designed Well now here it comes again They won't tell you what is wrong 'Cause they're scared of your alarm As you wake up to what's real While these dreams could not reveal All their methods are the raged They will never take the blame For this nation they've abused When all we ask for is the truth I would say that we are just a tool To confuse my only rules We comply with what we're dealt You know we brought in on ourselves And then the apathy drains me And then it burns my soul I gotta pull together I gotta gain control Well now I can't do anything My back's against the wall I've got an apathetic urge To destroy you all (What am I, what am I, what am I...)
