I don't want to be
I don't want to be left here
Without a sense of clear direction
In the claws of this constant tension

I could do this all day
Worry about the things that haunt me
The words that never let me be
Attached to my nerves, they never let go

I never dreamt I would end up like this
Gone to the world in an instant
Lost to the ones I knew
One day it all went away
The ground I once felt beneath my feet
Opened to the void below
That gave way to emptiness

I don't want to be
I don't want to be left here
Without a sense of clear direction
In the claws of this constant tension
I don't want to feel
I don't want to feel alone
Together with the thoughts that hurt me
We're locked in here forever
Alone together
Alone together

I would do this all day
Size up the competition
And cave right in from the start
Why won't it all go away
And vanish like all hopeless wishes
That give way to emptiness
Give way to emptiness
To the emptiness

I don't want to feel
I don't want to feel alone
Together with the thoughts that hurt me
Forever alone together

I don't want to be
I don't want to be left here
Without a sense of clear direction
In the claws of this constant tension
I don't want to feel
I don't want to feel alone
Together with the thoughts that hurt me
We're locked in here forever
Together

I would do this all day

I don't want to be
I don't want to be left here
Without a sense of clear direction
I don't want to be left here
I don't want to feel
I don't want to feel alone
Together with the thoughts that hurt me
Forever alone together
