On a bed of nails
I try to rest my head
Every nail a curse
I should have faced but fled
I'd do it again
takes much more to learn my lesson
Things come to an end
in this case that doesn't happen

*****
Make me see why
everything that's new to you is old to me
I breathe and bleed
even if I wanted to change
It would all be for nothing

Always dumbing down
Pieces to make them fit
Top of the world now
No more, it's done, I quit
It's just like I said
caught inside won't let it go
Godlike in your head
taking over casting shadows

(chorus)*****

So scratch the skin
Over and again
Take all you can
This is all I am
I unravel all I have
is this what you want from me
Shedding all my better half
shadows hang on me

I hope you get away
(Straight down and back)
Everywhere I turn I see I've gotta move faster
But every time I do I just go two steps back
(Straight down and back)
I am in rewind and everybody's moving past me
I count them as they pass
1,2,1,2,3

(chorus)*****
