Do I follow my fate and escape blindly

Do I hide my pride away from these bad dreams

And give into sad thoughts that are maddening

Do I let it go and try to stand it

Or do I try to catch them red-handed

Do I trust some and get fooled by phoniness

Or do I trust nobody and live life in lonliness

The sunlight burns the skin of sleeping men

I make the right turns but I'm lost within

I put on my daily façade but then

I just end up gettin' hurt again

By myself

(Myself)

I ask why

(But in my mind I find)

I can't rely on myself (Myself)

I ask why

(But in my mind I find)

I can't rely on myself

I can't hold on

To what I want when I'm stretched so thin

It's all too much to take in

I can't hold on

To anything watchin' everything spin

With thoughts of failure sinking in

If I turn my back I'm defenseless

And to give in to fate seems senseless

If I hide my pride and let it all go on

Then they'll take from me 'til everything is gone

If I let them go I'll be outdone

But if I try to catch them I'll be outrun

If I'm killed by the questions like a cancer

Then I'll be buried in the silence of the answer...

By myself

(Myself)

I ask why

(But in my mind I find)

I can't rely on myself (Myself)

I ask why

(But in my mind I find)

I can't rely on myself

I can't hold on

To what I want when I'm stretched so thin

It's all too much to take in

I can't hold on

To anything watchin' everything spin

With thoughts of failure sinking in

How do you think

That I've lost so much

I'm always afraid

That I'm out of touch

How do you expect

That I will know what to do

When all I know

Is what you tell me to

Don't you (KNOW)

I can't tell you how to make it (GO)

No matter what I do, how hard I (TRY)

I can't seem to convince myself (WHY)

I'm stuck on the outside

Don't you (KNOW)

I can't tell you how to make it (GO)

No matter what I do, how hard I (TRY)

I can't seem to convince myself (WHY)

I'm stuck on the outside

I can't hold on

To what I want when I'm stretched so thin

It's all too much to take in

I can't hold on

To anything watchin' everything spin

With thoughts of failure sinking in

I can't hold on

To what I want when I'm stretched so thin

It's all too much to take in

I can't hold on

To anything watchin' everything spin

With thoughts of failure from with... (in)
