VERSE 2:
This world wants to drown me with
The things it's thinking of
So now I don't want to see or breathe
In this place that cannot love
And I would rather lose my life
Than to ever, ever lose my mind
But in this world, in this land
It's our thoughts that we cannot find

It may not work, but I'm REALLY tired of messing with it.

So you see me run away
And you wonder why I am scared
Well, I just can't help but think about
the things of which we're not aware
