What do I do to ignore what's behind me
Do I follow my think to escape blindly
Do I hide my pride away from these bad dreams
And give in to sad thoughts that are maddening
Do I let it go and try to stand it
Or do I try to catch them red handed
Do I trust some and get fooled by phoniness
Or do I trust none and live life in loneliness
Cause sunlight burns the skin of sleeping men
I make the right turns but I'm lost within
I put on my daily faciade but then
I just end up getting hurt again by myself

Refrain:

(Myself)I ask why(But in my mind I find)
I find I can't rely on myself(Myself)
I ask why(But in my mind I find)
I can't rely on myself
I can't hold on(To what I want when I'm stretched so thin)
It's all too much to take in
I can't hold on(To anything, watching everything spin)
With thoughts of failure sinking in

If I turn my back I'm defenseless
And to give into fate seems senseless
If I hide my pride and let it all go on
Then they'll take from me till everything is gone
If I let them go I'll be outdone
But if I try to catch them I'll be outrun
If I'm killed by the questions like a cancer
Then I'll be buried in the silence of the answer by myself

Refrain:

How do you think
I've lost so much
I'm always afraid
that I'm out of touch
How do you expect
I will know what to do
When all I know
is what you tell me to

Don't you (know)
I can't tell you how to make it (go)
No matter what I do, how hard I (try)
I can't seem to convince myself (why)
I'm stuck on the outside

I can't hold on (To what I want when I'm stretched so thin)
It's all too much to take in
I can't hold on (To anything, watching everything spin)

I can't hold on (To what I want when I'm stretched so thin)
It's all too much to take in
I can't hold on (To anything, watching everything spin)
With thoughts of failure from with
