lyrics

I'm like everyone else
All I really want is what I'm told I cannot or should not have
So the darker and more messed up it is
The more I'm convinced it's what will fill my empty soul

If you can see what's in my heart
Keep that shit to yourself
I've worked too damn hard to make sure
No one knows what I'm ever really thinking
Now I'm not sure I even know myself

I'm a walking cliche
All I really want's an endless cycle of objects I can crave
Having brings me no joy
Just the air moving 'round in the vacuum of the void I call my soul

If you can see what I really want
Keep that shit to yourself
I've worked too damn hard to make sure
People think I'm some harmless fucking nice guy
I'd hate for them to see what fools they've been

As I fall into the black hole of my broken heart
I'll take you all down with me when I go

I'm like everyone else
All I really want is someone else to tell me it will be alright
Someone who knows my heart
But every time I get close I convince myself that they're not good enough

If you can see what's on my mind
Keep that shit to yourself
I've worked too damn hard to make sure
People think I'm some inoffensive nice guy
I'd hate for them to see the truth of it

I'm like everyone else
I'm like everyone else
