lyrics

Something is wrong, something has got to be corrected
Something is wrong, something has got to be corrected
I tried to call you, but there was no one there
Above all I wish I could caress with my hands your hair
But here I've found that things don't change
Here I've found it remains the same
And if I was a man of faith I would pray
That things got better

Barely awake and subconsciously aware I pull myself out of the curls of your hair
Fully alive and fully ashamed I'm reduced to a daze getting lost in the haze
Rest my pen on the paper, write my name to the letter
The words ring hollow, things aren't getting better

There's nothing left for me here, yet I'm beyond shedding tears
My mind so numb that I feel no fear
But then I think for a moment and conceited thoughts awake me
The people that have wronged me and those who've forsaken me
My misanthropy pure, I feel the suffocating rage
Asphyxiate the world in a cloud of flame

If I could change I would
If I could change I would
No it never gets better
No it never gets better

If I could change I would
If I could change I would
