• I'm drowning in myself
    Sunken like my eyes
    You said that you hated me
    It's not a big surprise
    I'm knocking back drinks
    Made of our tears on rocks
    Building you that mausoleum
    Of outdated writer's blocks
    Sick of reading Shakespeare backwards
    Just plain tired of being used
    Leaving all these hearts shattered
    All broken cities cruised
    I'm darkening my face
    With full moon-tinted glasses
    Learning that in "true" life
    That aren't any free passes
    My fragile mind is sinking
    That leaves me desiring
    Fate's one sweet, fatal kiss
    All emotions running marathons
    Wearing cleats, not simple shoes
    Heart beating out of rhythm
    To a mystery without clues
    I'm loved, then I'm hated
    I'm wanted, then despised
    And every time I get cut down
    I act like I'm surprised
    The truth's I am losing myself
    But no one sees the signs
    I wrote the book on self-loathing
    But they can't read between the lines
