Only

I'm becoming less defined as days go by

Fading away

Well you might say

I'm losing focus

Kinda drifting into the abstract in terms of how I see myself

Sometimes I think I can see right through myself

Less concerned about fitting into the world

Your world that is

Cause it doesn't really matter anymore

(no it doesn't really matter anymore)

None of this really matters anymore

Yes I'm alone but then again I always was

As far back as I can tell

I think maybe it's because

Because you were never really real to begin with

I just made you up to hurt myself

And it worked.

Yes it did!

There is no you

There is only me

There is no you

There is only me

There is no fucking you

There is only me

There is no fucking you

There is only me

Only

Well the tiniest little dot caught my eye and it turned out to be a scab

And I had this funny feeling like I just knew it's something bad

I just couldn't leave it alone, I kept picking at the scab

It was a doorway trying to seal itself shut

But I climbed through

Now I am somewhere I am not supposed to be, and I can see things I know I really shouldn't see

And now I know why, now, now, now I know why

Things aren't as pretty

On the inside

Only
