Words
Lyrics
You'll never get inside
I swore I'd never turn into you
I'm closer all the time
I made it 10 miles high
Can't tell my truth from my lies
I swore to god I would never turn into you
I'm getting closer... all the time
Tear it all down tear it all down tear it
all down tear it all down
I'm getting closer... all the time
I tried to get so high
My nightmare's everywhere but inside
A living indication of every situation
But it seems I have neglected complication
Hindered my salvation
But I try and I try and I try
