Once there was a nothing, the voices rang so true

The knowledge that was lacking, cut innocence in two

Everything seemed too good to be right

When I was 16 I was too uptight

Now disappointment's shadow reveals a colder time

A harder kind of living in disillusion

How can it go the fear of the night

Now I am grown, I'm just too uptight

A slow and noble breakdown of personality

Careless, heartless, soulless, no dignity

My days are flown and I can't recall

Feeling so alone was I so uptight

Death creeps ever closer, a darkness falls in me

A scared fragmented loner unholy

A night with no end an echoing sea

I'll think about me, how I'm too uptight
