(So, what do you think?)
[Mike (Chester)]
What do I do to ignore what's behind me?
Do I follow my fate to escape blindly?
Do I hide my pride away from these bad dreams
And give in to sad thoughts that are maddening?
Do I let it go and try to stand it?
Or do I try to catch them red-handed?
Do I trust some and get fooled by phoniness
Or do I trust none and live life in loneliness?
Because sunlight burns the skin of sleeping men
I make the right turns but I'm lost within
I put on my daily facade but then
I just end up getting hurt again
By myself (MYSELF!)
I ask why, (but in my mind I find)
I can't rely on myself (MYSELF!)
I ask why, (but in my mind I find)
I can't rely on myself
[Chorus][Chester (Mike)]
I can't hold on
(To what I want when I'm stretched so thin)
It's all too much to take in
I can't hold on
(To any cares you can win)
With thoughts of failure sinking in
[Mike (Chester)]
If I turn my back I'm defenseless
And to give in the fate seems senseless
If I hide my pride I was sleepless
And one pill but the coke in my weakness
If I let them go I'll be outdone
But if I try to catch them I'll be outrun
If I'm killed by the questions like a cancer
Then I'll be buried in the silence of the answer
By myself (MYSELF!)
I ask why, (but in my mind I find)
I can't rely on myself (MYSELF!)
I ask why, (but in my mind I find)
I can't rely on myself
(Chorus)
[Mike (Chester)]
How do you think I've lost so much
Always afraid that I'm out of touch
How do you expect I would know what to do
When all I know is what you tell me to?
Don't you (KNOW!)
I can't tell you how to make it (GO!)
No matter what I do how hard I (TRY!)
I can't seem to convince myself (WHY!)
I'm stuck on the outside
(2x)
[Chester (Mike)]
I can't hold on
(To what I want when I'm stretched so thin)
It's all too much to take in
I can't hold on
(To any cares you can win)
With thoughts of failure sinking in
I can't hold on
(To what I want when I'm stretched so thin)
It's all too much to take in
I can't hold on
(To any cares you need, I can win)
With thoughts of failure from with.
