Burdened with the task of keeping track of the days Counting the minutes on the clock as they fade away I never thought I would even make it to see today, But I'm here, and the life I lead is caving in on me Dragging me through the streets Bringing me to my knees But as the world spins around me, another day comes and goes, and I'm still waiting I didn't choose to be in this world, my self-destructive acts will always go unheard And this veil that I hide behind gives me a better way to see what this world is like I watched you change You watched me do the same And I saw your change, But I'll never let my hate do the same I never dreamed my life would end up this way, Searching for any meaning in this fucked up place Everyone here once spoke in a similar way, Singing the same songs that we all once sang You knew my face, you never knew me You saw your demons, when you looked right at me You knew my face, you never knew me You never knew me at all Here we are With shattered hearts staring back at me, no room left to breath, the world caves in on me, all that's left to see: A man so lost and confused, A man so beaten black and blue, A man staring back at you A man just like you
