[Verse 1]

So, I see, I found myself pinned up against another

Impenetrable wall

No, it won't take long at all

Short talk and go, don't look so shocked, come on!

It's fine

And even though I think this could be our goodbye

There's defiance in your eyes

Ah, of course, it must be pitiful to see someone with a face like this

Even if that somebody is me...

[Pre-Chorus]

Laugh, surely, you know the moves!

To disgracing, beating, mixing trash with blood and dirt

And even so, I wouldn't mind at all

But enter Mother Mary robbing me of my cathartic resolve

[Chorus]

It's a dead-end endeavor, it's time you understood

That this whole situation won't bring you any good!

Oh, I know that your heart's beating faster than it should

But I can't let you in - wouldn't even if I could

[Verse 2]

So, I see, I found myself trying to win another

Inconsequential fight

Hah, my bark turned out to be much harsher than the bite

Alright, sometimes

Life doesn't give a damn about how hard you try

But forgive my helpless spite

What's the point of this self pity?

It's not pretty

Being part of bleeding hearts

Just wasting time, waiting for a sign...

[Bridge]

Hey, hey is this weird or what?

This familiar feeling ties my insides up in knots

It's silly

NO!

Occam, bring out The Saw!

Cause I've got some doubts to cut before I grasp onto this thin straw

[Pre-Chorus]

It's a little suspicious, I'd like to know some more

Maybe we're not as different as I believed before

Has it been a month, really? One week turned into four

Call it my wishful thinking, I see an open door

[Chorus]

It's a dead-end endeavor, of course I understand

Seems the devil has found business for my idle hand

It's unlikely, you tell me. I tell you, it connects!

Call it my wishful thinking, I call it common sense

[Outro]

It's a wicked endeavor, I've always understood

That this whole situation won't bring me any good

For a moment my heart's beating faster than it should

But I can't let you in, even though I wish I could

I'm not one to see people as a means to meet an end

But some ventures require a sacrificial lamb

This particular troubled youth on the diagram

Found his footing in saying "I need, therefore I am."
