[Verse 1]
So, I see, I found myself pinned up against another
Impenetrable wall
No, it won't take long at all
Short talk and go, don't look so shocked, come on!
It's fine
And even though I think this could be our goodbye
There's defiance in your eyes
Ah, of course, it must be pitiful to see someone with a face like this

Even if that somebody is me...

[Pre-Chorus]
Laugh, surely, you know the moves!
To disgracing, beating, mixing trash with blood and dirt
And even so, I wouldn't mind at all
But enter Mother Mary robbing me of my cathartic resolve

[Chorus]
It's a dead-end endeavor, it's time you understood
That this whole situation won't bring you any good!
Oh, I know that your heart's beating faster than it should
But I can't let you in - wouldn't even if I could

[Verse 2]
So, I see, I found myself trying to win another
Inconsequential fight
Hah, my bark turned out to be much harsher than the bite
Alright, sometimes
Life doesn't give a damn about how hard you try
But forgive my helpless spite
What's the point of this self pity?
It's not pretty
Being part of bleeding hearts
Just wasting time, waiting for a sign...

[Bridge]
Hey, hey is this weird or what?
This familiar feeling ties my insides up in knots
It's silly
NO!
Occam, bring out The Saw!
Cause I've got some doubts to cut before I grasp onto this thin straw

[Pre-Chorus]
It's a little suspicious, I'd like to know some more
Maybe we're not as different as I believed before
Has it been a month, really? One week turned into four
Call it my wishful thinking, I see an open door

[Chorus]
It's a dead-end endeavor, of course I understand
Seems the devil has found business for my idle hand
It's unlikely, you tell me. I tell you, it connects!
Call it my wishful thinking, I call it common sense

[Outro]
It's a wicked endeavor, I've always understood
That this whole situation won't bring me any good
For a moment my heart's beating faster than it should
But I can't let you in, even though I wish I could
I'm not one to see people as a means to meet an end
But some ventures require a sacrificial lamb
This particular troubled youth on the diagram
Found his footing in saying "I need, therefore I am."
