lyrics

My skin and bones will break your sticks and stones
I don't know how to feel anymore
Parasites, don't take away my eyes, though there's
Nothing left for me to use them for

Trapped and tied, I'm wrapped around your finger
You pull tighter and tighter (tighter and tighter until)
Until I snap in two, half for me and half for you
Unraveling against my will

Everything is going by so fast and here I am
A ghost through the years
Yeah, I've become apathetic
To violence, to love, to the world outside
Oh yeah, I'm apathetic and there's no hope
For me

Love is a game that I don't want to play
'Cause I'm sick of losing again and again
I'm giving up the chase! ending it here and now
And embracing loneliness, my only friend

It's roomy here inside this gloomy, empty space
I call my conscience (I know it's obvious that)
I've developed pessimistic habits that I cannot seem to break
(Going insane, gotta get out of my brain, yeah, I'm going insane!)

Everyone is leaving me at once and here I am
A ghost through the years
Yeah, I've become apathetic
To violence, to love, to the world outside
Oh yeah, I'm apathetic and there's no hope

For little ol' me waitin' for the roof to cave in
So I can swim in the sun above even though it's fading
I need to feel some warmth in this cold and forgotten heart of mine
Yeah, I'm not dead yet, at least not entirely
So come on and let that great big sun shine!

Everything is ending all too quick and here I am
A ghost through the years
Yeah, I've become apathetic
To violence, to love, to the world outside, yeah
I'm apathetic to death, to life
Oh, to everything and everyone
And there's no hope (there's no hope for)
Oh, there's no hope for (there's no hope for)
Oh yeah, I'm apathetic and there's no hope for
