Joining the monsters neath the bed
Let's get it started
I'd rather just party down with them
Than sleep through my life
I'm sick of the voices in my head
It's time we parted
And went our broken-hearted ways
Not just passing the time
Cause I'm realizing there's secrets I can't hide
Crawling back inside myself
Wasting away (passing the days?)
Countin' the crosshairs on my head
I don't like 'em
Seems like the whole world wants me dead
But what can I say
Could it be something I've said?
Could I be mistaken?
Could it be I crossed some line
A while ago
Cause I'm realizing there's secrets I don't know
Crawling back inside myself
Wasting away
[BRIDGE]
Lost track of the times
I lose myself to petty thoughts and crimes
Finding a way
To come inside and take it all away
In time I will find
That I intend on doing all my time
Wasting away
Caught up in the tangled web you weave
But now it unraveled
I've travelled so far beyond belief
Can't find my way home
Got so many tricks inside your sleeve
So sick of the battle
In search of a place where I can breathe
And just be alone
Cause I'm realizing there's secrets I don't know
Crawling back inside myself
Wasting away
