I grasp at life's fading light
I need you tonight
I need to be heard
Your actions speak
Louder than words

Ignored by you all
I stumble and fall
I suddenly knew
My life meant nothing at all

In shreds, I stare down at the street
Yearning for sleep
That blissful escape
But when it comes it's always too late

The whore in my bed
The noise in my head
A hole in my pride
It's coming and there's
Nowhere to hide

It seems to me
To be self-contradictory
It seems to me you count
Your victories while they're there

Ignored by you all
I stumble and fall
I suddenly knew
My life meant nothing at all

The whore in my bed
The noise in my head
The hole in my pride
It's coming and there's
Nowhere to hide

It seems to me to be self-contradictory
It seems to me you count
Your blessings while they're there
You count your blessings while they're there
Count your victories while they're there

It seems, it seems, it seems
It seems to me to be
To be self-contradictory
It seems to me you've
Become part of the machinery

Part of the machinery
Part of the machinery
Become part of the machinery
Machinery
