On a bed of nails   I try to rest my head   Every nail a curse   I should have faced but fled   I'd do it again   takes much more to learn my lesson   Things come to an end   in this case that doesn't happen      *****   Make me see why   everything that's new to you is old to me   I breathe and bleed   even if I wanted to change   It would all be for nothing      Always dumbing down   Pieces to make them fit   Top of the world now   No more, it's done, I quit   It's just like I said   caught inside won't let it go   Godlike in your head   taking over casting shadows      (chorus)*****      So scratch the skin   Over and again   Take all you can   This is all I am   I unravel all I have   is this what you want from me   Shedding all my better half   shadows hang on me      I hope you get away   (Straight down and back)   Everywhere I turn I see I've gotta move faster   But every time I do I just go two steps back   (Straight down and back)   I am in rewind and everybody's moving past me   I count them as they pass   1,2,1,2,3      (chorus)*****
