Split

I've gone and made a mess of myself Come back to me in 10 years Maybe by then I'll have it figured out If the answer is this Then the question is that So what's the fucking point again (Oh shut the fuck up) Why won't these voices leave me alone I can tell they want a place of their own I've been sharing my mind Quietly hoping inside That one day we might find What we crave I've been searching all my life for what does not exist I've been chasing a dream, that I can barely resist Is this why when I hear them calling out my name I follow them blindly all through hell and then back again I'm beside myself (It's pointless) No reason to be found (Of course) But what did I expect (You tell me) That things might work out (Don't hold your breath) (So why the hell do you fight) Why else (So why do you fight) I told you (Tell me why you fight) Fuck you You can't lie to us 'Cause we are you Who said I need a reason Take a look at yourself we were born to die Who said you even had to be Take a look at yourself we were born to die Ergh I've been searching all my life for what does not exist I've been chasing a dream that I can barely resist I can make mistakes but just can't make amends I'm a slave to this life until the end My time is short My patience thin All faith is lost The verdict's in 'Cause All our gods are dead And in their place we let the demons in There's no up, no down No good, no bad, no chance to escape From this empty shell that only ever tries to replicate Who we were and what we thought Everything we used to feel We're clutching at these straws As we fight with what we hope is real They fooled us once, they fooled us twice They stole from us almost half our lives We can't accept that they are us and now we're dead inside Quick to flip off the switch, I believe this is it The end to of everything I ever came to know Stripping shreds from my skin Just to find what's within was never anything but more empty hope They fooled us once They fooled us twice They stole from us almost half our lives We still can't accept that they are us And now we're dead inside We're dead inside I've been searching all my life for what does not exist I've been chasing a dream that I can barely resist I've made mistakes, I'm a slave to this life until the end I've been searching all my life for what does not exist I've been chasing a dream, that I can barely resist I can make mistakes, but just can't make amends I'm a slave to this life until the end
