lyrics

stupid talking from my mouth
the words just don't match up
the thoughts are in there and I am
left alone to think on my own

well you got out of there alive
it's happenstance, i blame you
who could say I blame you?

mumble something pointless
arguments that lead up to nothing
useless information, careful hesitation
vile contemplation--i digress

compromise, everything outside is alive
wreck me from the inside
pointless wonder, things you'll never know
break this inhibition
life is not a competition for show

I will search for something that I've been searching for for way too long
and I will find that something that makes my heart feel right at home
and if I don't find that something, maybe I'll be forever alone
and I will find that something right where time said it would be
