what's the matter with my world today?
just want to find a place where i can run away
everywhere four walls keep following me around,
apathy dragging me down still i can't make a sound
to the point where I break down!
i can no longer hide - its all pent up inside
(disease) festering on my brain
you make me feel infectious staring in this rain

[i feel empty inside]
just want a place where i can run and hide
[i feel empty inside]
can't someone even listen or are you all really that superficial?

standing in a corner, watching your world go by
you knock me down don't even step aside
don't pay attention this mess before your feet
just keep on walking; can't you i desperately need a hand
a tear wells up to my eyes. you don't even ask me why
i think your competent as a brick -
excuse me now i'm sick!

[i feel empty inside]
just want a place where i can run and hide
[i feel empty inside]
can't someone even listen or are you all really that superficial?
