did you happen to catch

or did you happen so fast

what you thought would always last

has passed you by

is everything speeding up

or am i slowing down

just spinning around

and i don't know why

all the pieces don't fit

though i really don't give a shit

i never wanted to be like you

but for all i aspire

i am really a liar

and i'm running out of things i can do



i'd like to say

but every day

everything pushes me further away

if you could show

help me to know

how it's supposed to be

where did it go?



pleading and

needing and

bleeding and

breeding and

feeding



exceeding

where is everybody?

trying and

lying

defying

denying

crying and

dying

where is everybody?



well okay, enough

you've had your fun

but come on there has got to be someone

that hasn't yet become

so numb

and succumb

and

god damn i am so tired of pretending

of wishing i was ending

when all i'm really doing is trying to hide

and keep it inside

and fill it with lies

open my eyes?

maybe i wish i could try



pleading and

needing and

bleeding and

breeding and

feeding

exceeding

where is everybody?

trying and

lying

defying

denying

crying and

dying

where is everybody
