_(softer) My lonely soul's been following me _following me _following me

(harder) So these lonely thoughts are stuck in my head _stuck in my head _stuck in my head

(louder) And you can't (fingers snapping) outrun what's stuck in your head, (louder) and you can't stomp out (foot stomping) what's stuck in your head;

So I'm stRuck (loud slap) in the head _headed for dead _can't get ahead.

(softer) My lonely soul's keeps following me _keeps following me _keeps following me.

Those lonely thoughts are deadening me _stuck in my head _can't get ahead

I want those thoughts (louder) unstuck from my head _unstuck from my head _unstuck from my head

They scar my soul like I've been stRuck (loud slap now) in the head _headed for dead _can't get ahead.

My lonely soul's creeping up on me _ it's following me _swallowing me.

(softer) My lonely soul's catching up to me _it's following me _swallowing me

(softer still) My lonely soul's got its claws in me _it's following me _swallowing me

(whispers) Can't get ahead _headed for dead

(softest whisper) It's following me
