With all these voices in my head And all the messages I've sent All the replies I never get They say forgive and then forget Everything I've done has led to regret And stood me up right on the edge Feet halfway over the ledge Wind in my face and what comes next? A flashback to memories With violent ends from violent deeds I see them right before they bleed And cold shivers run underneath I've been called both crazy and insane Like something's wrong inside my brain To everyone else I'm not the same I ain't normal, I ain't plain But then again, I didn't want to be It's not my fault I cause unease I don't see what everyone else sees I see dead men on their feet Why fight on and be so strong In a world where I don't belong? Where everything has gone all wrong From ongoing wars to the suicide song I hear white noise when I walk And whispering when I don't talk A shadow behind that always stalks Paranoid, eyes like a hawk I'm sorry I'm not what you wish I was But don't hate me just because I don't meet your expectations So give up on my resuscitation *"You cannot revive the dead and ******

Expectations
With all these voices in my head And all the messages I've sent All the replies I never get They say forgive and then forget Everything I've done has led to regret And stood me up right on the edge Feet halfway over the ledge Wind in my face and what comes next? A flashback to memories With violent ends from violent deeds I see them right before they bleed And cold shivers run underneath I've been called both crazy and insane Like something's wrong inside my brain To everyone else I'm not the same I ain't normal, I ain't plain But then again, I didn't want to be It's not my fault I cause unease I don't see what everyone else sees I see dead men on their feet Why fight on and be so strong In a world where I don't belong? Where everything has gone all wrong From ongoing wars to the suicide song I hear white noise when I walk And whispering when I don't talk A shadow behind that always stalks Paranoid, eyes like a hawk I'm sorry I'm not what you wish I was But don't hate me just because I don't meet your expectations So give up on my resuscitation *"You cannot revive the dead and ******
