What do I do to ignore them behind me
Do I follow my instincts blindly
Do I hide my pride from these bad dreams 
And give in to sad thoughts that are maddening
Do I sit here and try to stand it
Or do I try to catch them red-handed
Do I [bad word] some and get fooled by phoniness
Or do I [bad word] nobody and live in loneliness
Because I can t hold on when I m stretched so thin 
I make the right moves but I m lost within 
I put on my daily facade but then 
I just end up getting hurt again 

By myself (myself) 
I ask why
But in my mind I find 
I can t rely on myself (myself)
I ask why
But in my mind I find
I cant rely on myself
I cant look around 
(Its too much to take in)
I cant hold on 
(When im stretched so thin)
I cant slow down 
(Watching everything spin)
I cant look past 
(Its starting over again)

If I turn my back I m defenseless 
And to go blindly seems senseless 
If I hide my pride and let it all go on 
Then they ll take from me till everything is gone 
If I let them go I ll be outdone 
But if I try to catch them I ll be [bad word] 
If I m killed by the questions like a cancer 
Then I ll be buried in the silence of the answer
