Detach this sorry frown from my fatiguing head
I once had hope, but it has begun to slowly fade
I am as unmotivated as the dying soldier on his lonely bed
Brought home to speak last words to a family that no longer exists
It is failure I fear, because in their eyes I have failed so many times
“I am proud” is no longer a feeling, but just words programmed into their mind
“The pain you have is only the pain you have brought upon yourself”
And it’ll pass like a fever, but in due time it will come back again
Come kiss my cheek; I want to taste your breath
Look into my eyes and let me see the light ahead
This dark and cold atmosphere is a place I’ll never miss
And oh by the way, I have finally learned:
The bottom line your bank account is not the definition of success
Come on down (come on down)
Please come on down and take a first row seat
They say I never open up, but tonight I’ll open up (I’ll open up)
I’ll spill my guts for the world to see
You’ve got a lot of nerve asking me to present my argument
When your only response were remarks of defense
If don’t want to listen – just tell me
I already know I am not that interesting
I’ll keep searching, I’ll keep searching
Just sign your name here and we’ll put a close to this friendship like a casket
Or this human relationship where one person gives and the other person just takes
And takes and takes and takes
The funniest part of this arrangement is that the victim may be you or you or you
And it was on this day where I screamed out the following words
“The pain you have is only the pain you have brought upon yourself!”
Damnit, the fever has found itself a home once again.
