i've seen it all before - time and time again as close as i would ever dare to be and yet without a doubt - i will disagree the sudden truth is no surprise to me i know there is no easy way i've said it from the start sometimes you've got to live the life and feel the pain i hear a beat inside my head i feel it in my heart but just the thought of it is driving me insane it's tearing me apart i hear a distant voice - very far away i'm silent now - i don't know what to say i've felt a strong desire to set myself on fire i don't think that would work for me today [chorus]
