(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.
