Lyrics
[Verse 1]
did you happen to catch
or did it happen so fast
what you thought would always last
has passed you by
is everything speeding up
or am i slowing down
i'm just spinning around
and i don't know why
all the pieces don't fit
thought i really didn't give a shit
i never wanted to be like you
but for all i aspire
i am really a liar
and i'm running out of things i can do
[Verse 2]
i'd like to stay
but every day
everything pushes me further away
if you could show
help me to know
HOW IT’S SUPPOSED TO BE
where did it go?
[Verse 3]
pleading and
needing and
bleeding and
breeding and
feeding
exceeding
WHERE IS EVERYBODY
trying and
lying
defying
denying
crying and
dying
where is everybody?
[Verse 4]
well okay, enough
you've had your fun
but come on there has got to be someone
that hasn't yet become
so numb
and succumb
and
god damn i am so tired of pretending
of wishing i was ending
when all i'm really doing is trying to hide
and keep it inside
and fill it with lies
open my eyes?
MAYBE I WISH I COULD TRY
[Verse 5]
pleading and
needing and
bleeding and
breeding and
feeding
exceeding
where is everybody?
trying and
lying
defying
denying
crying and
dying
WHERE IS EVERYBODY?
[Verse 6]
pleading
needing
bleeding
breeding
feeding
exceeding
where is everybody?
trying
lying
defying
denying
crying and
dying
WHERE IS EVERYBODY?
