lyrics

I
Feel like the dirt
That I
Grew from
And am now
Stuck in
I have nothing to hide
I'll show you my roots
To tell you the truth
I am made of
Stolen thoughts,
Broken hearts,
And mixed matched parts
That weren't meant to fit

I
Feel like dirt
And I'm
Not even dead
Or at least
I think I am
Wasted space
Because I don't
Appreciate
The pictures
And chances
I’ve been given
I want to be able
To draw those lines
And give up all that I’ve called mine

I have listened to too many useless words
And held on to things that have no worth

Nothing carries enough weight to make me change
If I'm a node between these waves
If not, my cast was set
in the mold or I have already sold
myself down the river

(So there's no point)

The spindle spun but the damage was already done
I will disintegrate into the ground and this corpse
Will give the warmth
Of the ideas I thought I'd stored
