I make my plans as if I never knew
I build myself up to be let down
I put up these barriers then let them inside
I use all the words they expect of me now
The meaning has deepened and filled with regret
The time is still ticking and passing me by
The feelings have faded and become shrouded in hate
The tears sting and drop from the cuts in my eyes
You hear only thoughts that rescue your mind
You take all I am and use it against me
You watched from the front row but never did listen
You use compliments to make me feel empty
I'm so troubled now, diseased from the inside
I'm trying to tell you my deepest confession
I'm dying now, it's too late to fix this
The resentment I feel has become my obsession
