It's no use trying to make sense, it doesn't matter anyway

There's no one worth the pain, no reason left to stay

I try to turn it off, where did the old me go?

How did I get so far away? I just don't know

Every act of kindness boils down to lust or greed

No one acts from altruism, it all comes down to need

There's a monster inside my heart who tries to tear my world apart

There's a demon inside my head, tells me I'd be better off dead

I try to turn it off, get back to positive

Don't want to drag you down to the street where I live

I try to turn it off, get back to happy days

Pull this barrel from my mouth and look for better ways

Every act of kindness boils down to lust or greed

No one acts from altruism, it all comes down to need

There's a monster inside my heart who tries to tear my world apart

There's a demon inside my head, tells me I'd be better off dead

Everything you never tried

Every time you might have lied

Every flaw you tried to hide

Every drop you ever cried

Every time you've been denied

Every tear that ever dried

Everything builds up inside in waves of regret miles wide
