[Verse 1]
Alone with the thoughts in my head
They're buzzing like flies again
Swarming this corpse of a man
And that's all I am
And all that I've ever been
The how and the why and the when
It's all I know
And knowing's a curse in itself

[Chorus]
(Ooh) Yeah, I just don't know what to do (Ooh)
I can lie to myself (Ooh)
But I can't lie to you (Ooh)
When all our dreams are dead (Ooh-ooh)
I'll start livin' again (Ooh)
I'll start tellin' the truth (Ooh)

[Verse 2]
I'd like to be sleeping instead
But this floor isn't soft like a bed
It's all I know
And knowing's a means to an end

[Chorus]
(Ooh) Yeah, I just don't know what to do (Ooh)
I can lie to myself (Ooh)
But I can't lie to you (Ooh)
When all our dreams are dead (Ooh-ooh)
I'll start living again (Ooh)
I'll start telling the truth (Ooh)
[Outro]
As hard as I try to pretend
This is all I am
And all that I will be again
