Are there any words for me to measure?
Is there any place that I can stand?
Caught somewhere between the pain and pleasure
Living in this godforsaken land
I'm sinking low as you rise above
I drown in sorrow, you swim in love
I've become so weary of the shocking
Holding on to try and keep my head
But they seem to do always that talking
And I start to wish that I was dead
And oh my soul, it's a crying shame
The things they do - no, it's not a game
Once upon a time when I was dreaming
That surely they would come to see my way
Certainty descended into scheming
Once again I've nothing left to say
You told me once and you told me twice
But I couldn't follow that good advice
