It’s funny how things change
Like the wind
Now you know my name
Turned on by my so-called fame
But your face stays the same
Telling a thousand truths
With every adoring look

But I’m still me
The one you didn’t wanna be
I’m still me
The nameless nobody from a nameless street
I didn’t want to speak to you then
And I don’t want to now

Clinging to me like a weakling child
There you watch
Frightened and lost
Tears burning a hole in your cheeks
Oh but please cant you see
That it’s still really me?

Can’t see why I had to change
In your misty, longing eyes
But I’m still me
There’s no one else I can possibly be
You take my truths and bend them into
Whatever shapes you please

Silent whispers echo round the room
I don’t want your counterfeit good wishes
Why don’t you go bother
Some other idiot instead?

I see you watch from a distance
Feel every shred of your pain
Every prayer for an apocalyptic rain
And return to how things were
I never wanted to play
This stupid fucking game

Carbon dioxide smiles
Suffocate the air around me
I turn around to face you
So pale, tired, empty
But you don’t even seem to notice
At least before, I knew who I was
Not even sure now
If this is still me…

Can’t determine who I am anymore
My feelings and words a contradiction
Could it be I’m losing this addiction?
People I thought I knew
Have changed beyond recognition
And you
Are lost in the midst of my insanity

The world has become an illusion
And I can’t hold on anymore
With a head so twisted and fingers broken
My final soft words are spoken
As I scrawl on my wall
A message in blood to be seen by all
