Am I drowning
Am I fading away
Or am I living up to all your dreams that made me this way?

I'm all bone
I'm two tone
Red as a newborn
White as a corpse

I wanted to be like you
I wanted everything
So I tried to be like you
And I got swept away

We sing the death song, kids
'Cause we've got no future
And we wanna be just like you

Hunger hurts and I want him so bad oh it kills
Because I know I'm a mess he don't wanna clean up
I've got to fold 'cause these hands are too shaky to hold
Hunger hurts but starving works when it costs too much too love

If I could be like that
I would give anything
Just to live one day
In those shoes
If I could be like that
What would I do
What would I do

I see the girls walk by dressed in their summer clothes
I have to turn my head until my darkness goes

They only hit until you cry
After that you don't ask why
You just don't argue any more

I've built walls
A fortress deep and mighty
That none may penetrate
I have no need of friendship
Friendship causes pain
It's laughter and it's loving I disdain
I am a rock
I am an island

I just need this to be all right
I can't feel this another night
I can't take this
I've come unglued
I might break down
In front of you
Necessary
To medicate
I'm not sleeping
Can't stay awake
