When you can't say what you want to say.
I know your face
I know your eyes
I know you well
I know you will

I know your lines
I know your lies
I know what I said
I know I'm tied and trapped down here

I know the words
I know myself
I know what I am
I know what that means

I know you can't see
Not past my eyes
As I stare
straight through you

...

I've seen it all
I've played the games
I've watched the lines
Twisted, gripping down my neck

I've wanted more
I've wanted less
I've wanted just one fucking thing
To not be like the rest

I'm holding on
I'm holding out
And I try the best I can
To let it go, just let it go

But I can't
And I don't know why
It's not hard to figure out
It's not hard at all
