Selfish

I tread this backwards path, I am all alone
Everyday is cutting me, right down to the bare bone
Then in my eyes, I can't see me
There's a place I'll go, that doesn't show
This is the place where they just cannot see

I can't stop wondering what they're all thinking of
There comes a time when you will meet the man above
Meet the man above

They say to be yourself, so yourself you have to blame
To them I'm different, but to me they're all the same
But then in my eyes, I can't be me
There's a place I go, that doesn't show
This is the place that they want me to be

It all just looks the same so I no longer care
Look into my eyes and see that I'm not really there
I'm not really there

And I believe this path is haunted
In the end I guess its true, no one here gets out alive

There's a time to live, and a time where you decay
You either burn out, or you fade away
And then in my eyes, I can't be free
There's a place I go, that will not show
This is the place that has been left for me

You are ashes and will one day turn to dust
With a metal chain your caught and everything will rust
Everything will rust

See the man alone, his head down to the floor
Look at him now, he soon won't be here anymore
