The lie that you call your life
It scares me to death that you aren't bothered
I have dreams in my head
And I told you all about them
And you dared to listen
Then you looked at me like I was borderline crazy
The things I screamed back at you got me thinking I may be
I won't let you tell me how it's all gonna end up
I won't sit in a box with a tie on for the rest of my life
I wonder what you were like ten years ago
Were you boring then too?
What couldn't you risk back then that I don't have now?
And was it all worth it?
Oh, you don't know anything
Every word you say proves it
And you can't say anything
You've never been through it
You're crazy
You're unbelievable
You're sick
And you're twisted
If you think I'll be dragged down with you
Then you're missing the point
