lyrics

What's with this blank expression?
Can't find the words to change it
My mood and mind is feeling lost
Losing the will to try again
Sitting up to sit back down
I can't get used to this sense of uselessness
Pulling every fibre out
Trying to pin down
My only use is
Useless
You said “I’ll wait til' you’re better”
But I have no intention to wait for you
You sleep while I am frightened
Where is my life going to?
I’m told that “this will all work out” and “stop pretending love is lost”
If smiles were half as easy as lies I’d brighten up your day
And I’m hoping this all works out
Because I’m slipping through you
You’re gripping to me
And I’m content with being like that
Because you’re changing faces
In different places
Stop with these questions
You’re no exception to the rule
But you can see a human being in me
