and I take a deep breath;
Think about how,
I turned into this mess.
Lately I`ve been sleeping,
in a strangers bed,

My feet are freezing,
my nose is frozen,
my eyes they open.
And I look at this thing,
they call a human being,
and I roar her.

And it feels like its been days,
yet the face,
of the clock taunts me,
tells me otherwise,
again I close my eyes.

Again I open them.

And I look at this girl,
who can`t look at herself.
Someone so weak,
thinks she`s portraying strength.

But this act,
it means nothing,

(no, nothing at all).

I close my eyes,
and I take a deep breath;
Think about how,
I turned into this mess.
Lately I`ve been sleeping,
in a strangers bed,

My feet are freezing,
my nose is frozen,
my eyes they open.
And I look at this thing,
they call a human being,
and I roar her.

And it feels like its been days,
yet the face,
of the clock taunts me,
tells me otherwise,
again I close my eyes.

Again I open them.

And I look at this girl,
who can`t look at herself.
Someone so weak,
thinks she`s portraying strength.

But this act,
it means nothing,

(no, nothing at all).
