Chester]
Myself!
Myself!

[Mike]
What do I do to ignore them behind me?
Do I follow my instincts blindly?
Do I hide my pride, from these bad dreams
And give in to sad thoughts that are maddening?
Do I sit here and try to stand it?
Or do I try to catch them red-handed?
Do I trust some and get fooled by phoniness,
Or do I trust nobody and live in loneliness?
Because I can't hold on when I'm stretched so thin
I make the right moves but I'm lost within
I put on my daily facade but then
I just end up getting hurt again

By myself (Myself)
I ask why
But in my mind I find I can't rely on myself (Myself)I ask why
But in my mind I find I cant rely on myself

[Chester]
I can't look around Its too much to take in
I can't hold on, When I'm stretched so thin
I can't slow down, Watching everything spin
I can't look past, Its starting over again

[Mike]
If I turn my back I'm defenseless
And to go blindly seems senseless
If I hide my pride and let it all go on then they'll
Take from me till everything is gone
If I let them go I'll be outdone
But if I try to catch them I'll be outrun
If I'm killed by the questions like a cancer
Then I'll be buried in the silence of the answer

By Myself (Myself)
I ask why
But in my mind I find I can't rely on myself (Myself)
I ask why
But in my mind I find I cant rely on myself

[Chester]
I can't look around, Its too much to take in
I can't hold on, When I'm stretched so thin
I can't slow down, Watching everything spin
I can't look past, Its starting over again

Don't You (repeated over and over again)
KNOW!
I cant tell you how to make it
Go!
NO matter what I do, how hard I
TRY!
I cant seem to convince myself
WHY!
I'm stuck on the outside
