Lyrics

[Verse 1]

I'm becoming less defined

As days go by

Fading away

(Well you might say)

I'm losing focus

Kind of drifting into the abstract

In terms of how I see myself

Sometimes I think I can see right through myself

Sometimes I think I can see right through myself

(Sometimes I can see right through myself)

[Verse 2]

Less concerned

About fitting in to the world

Your world, that is

Because it doesn't really matter

Anymore

No it doesn't really matter anymore

None of this really matters anymore

[Verse 3]

Yes I am alone

But then again I always was

As far back as I can tell

I think maybe it's because

Because you were never really real to begin with

I just made you up

To hurt myself

[Verse 4]

And it worked

Yes it did

[Verse 5]

There is no you

There is only me

There is no fucking you

There is only me

[Verse 6]

Only

[Verse 7]

Well the tiniest little dot caught my eye

And it turned out to be a scab

And I had this funny feeling

Like I just knew it's something bad

I just couldn't leave it alone

And I kept picking at that scab

Like it was a doorway trying to seal itself shut

But I climbed through

[Verse 8]

And now I'm somewhere I am not supposed to be

And I can see things I know I really shouldn't see

And now I know why and now I know why

Things aren't as pretty

On the inside

[Verse 9]

There is no you

There is only me

There is no fucking you

There is only me

[Verse 10]

Only
