Collect my thoughts that are in my way
All the time i thought i'd say
Giving back to what i've gained
It's endless, this waiting and waiting
Holding the cure in my hands
Can't keep the hide on the marrow
Watching parades from the stands
Collect my thoughts that are in my way
All the time i thought i'd say
Giving back to what i've gained
In the circle, it all follows me
Hold the smoke and i will see
That there's nothing left for me
I was living in a hole
Dug beneath the earth, tryin to find my soul
In my unclear mind, i was living cold
Never realizing time would make me old
It's useless to fight when you're empty
Throwing your fist with your mind
Keep all those games for your weak friends
Smiling without any spines
I am my own weakness
I am my own shit
You are just as fucked up as i am
I am just as fucked up as you
I was living in a hole
Dug beneath the earth, tryin to find my soul
In my unclear mind, i was living cold
Never realizing time would make me old
Just a fucked up kid i'll always be
I am my own weakness
I am my own shit
You are just as fucked up as i am
I am just as fucked up as you
