Am I So Lifeless?
A thousand times I'm just you're victim
To play with
A thousand times again you say you've
Always been my friend
And a thousand times more
I say a thousand times more
You'll say
That you've always wanted something more
When I'm slipping, beneath the surface
Invisible cracks are barring against my soul
But can you feel it? Am I still lifeless?
Can the touch that used to warm my skin
Save me from this undying cold
Adoration, admiration
Labels that echo positivity
Wrapped around you, stuck around you
While I've been their outcast, the subject
The excuse to point fingers from the hands of ignorance
At the very thing the strive to become but will never understand
A thousand times I'm just you're victim
To play with
A thousand times again you say you've
Always been my friend
And a thousand times more
I say a thousand times more
You'll say
That you've always wanted something more
When I'm slipping, beneath the surface
Invisible cracks are barring against my soul
But can you feel it? Am I still lifeless?
Can the touch that used to warm my skin
Save me from this undying cold
You've never walked a step off your life's stage
You only asked me to join you in your grand performance
I thought the spotlight was on us both
But I guess the sea of people I see
Is not the life I wanted most
I'm fighting, gripping on with clenched hands
Broken teeth lying somewhere in the corner
I don't know where this life will lead
Or how I can go any further
But this is my entitlement
To some f***ing dignity while I'm still alive
So just hold on to me a little while longer
Because I came so close to knowing the truth
Closer to seeing who you really were
Now I'm further from who you really are
Have I gotten very far inside your heart?
A thousand times I'm just you're victim
To play with
A thousand times again you say you've
Always been my friend
And a thousand times more
I say a thousand times more
You'll say
That you've always wanted something more
