look around what do you see?
prickly little fingers haunting your dreams
drowning out my screams, what those people
did to me i don't know, i couldn't see
i wish it all was a dream, i don't remember
anything
was i the fool? no oh oh
you're the one taking me away from everyone
did i play it cool, yes i was, so naive
to think that i'm invincible to all
i'd lay around, thinking bout, my grave
belive me i'm one strike from underground
but maybe, i wasn't afraid
i thought i was doing great
wasted away? yes i was
a drunken skunk
i never thought i'd see the day
lifeless little feet come
back to me, help me walk
amongst other lives, because mine ran away
am i ashamed? no oh oh
i won't complain
embarassment and me are both the same
2 strikes down, down the drain
thrown away, because of all the games
i like to play
what if, they were too late
i thought i was doing great
i somehow found my way
around new york like a stray
those were the worste times i've had
all alone, thinking oh my god i'm left for dead
i'm so shocked, my own body
helped alot, adrenaline was more than enough
all strung out, stressed to tears
fight the water vanish all your fears
what a way, to restart
another year, oh my god what shitty luck
i braught, what a trip it could've been
i havelearned for i have sinned
right now, it still hurts
realizing i was meant to fall
in the depths of it all
even if i try to be
everything i had agreed
it's not fair to pity me
i wish it all was just a dream
