Century of Solitude Lyrics


I've fallen, I've failed

I've bled, I've lost and I've cried

I've shut down and I've crawled away

My mind and soul bleed

Next time everyone will know me for real

that's the fear that rules me

I'm not an improvement on my surroundings

the more i try, the worse i am, the more i try the worse i am

You defined yourself - now live with this

Don't try to feel, don't try to be

What you can never be

Don't try to have a real emotion

You're sterile, contrived and fake

Get back in your box

In your box you're safe and dead

There's no life to be afraid of

You find ways

To obsess with pathetic thoughts

To indulge your petulance

And pretend you're so racked with pain

Get out of your mind

Get out of your mind

It's there for you to find

Your self destruction is a crutch so you don't have to live a fucking life

My self worth finally asserts itself

As grief, anger, misery and tears

I am nothing and can no longer be

This charade of a life ends now

I'm not an improvement on my surroundings

the more i try, the worse i am, the more i try the worse i am

You defined yourself - now live with this

Don't try to feel, don't try to be

What you can never be

Don't try to have a real emotion

You're sterile, contrived and fake

Get back in your box

In your box you're safe and dead

There's no life to be afraid of
