i only said those things   so you couldn't put it back on me   what's said is said   but i never lied   and the harder i try   the harder it gets to remember the path   that led me to this place   there seems to be no way out of here      i only wanted to protect myself   from meaning and cause   but you can only try   to lift yourself out of the gutter so long      your form surrounds me   i'm left alone, an empty space   but at least it's my place   and the end result is a world   that never cared for the likes of different ideas      i had security   now it's gone   can't take the pressure and I don't blame youth   the blame's on you and it stands forever      open your tired eyes   it could make a difference   you can't wonder why   we're in need of assistance   open your tired eyes   it could make a difference at least just try   by recreating the system.
