Today I am dirty
I want to be pretty
Tomorrow, I know I’m just dirt
We are the nobodies
Wanna be somebodies
When we’re dead
They’ll know just who we are
Yesterday I was dirty
Wanted to be pretty
I know now that I’m forever dirt
We are the nobodies
Wanna be somebodies
When we’re dead
They’ll know just who we are
Some children died the other day
We fed machines and then we prayed
Puked up and down in morbid faith
You should have seen the ratings that day
Nothing ever stops all these thoughts and the pain attached to them
Sometimes I wonder why this is happenin’
It’s like nothing I can do would distract me when
I think of how I shot myself in the back again
‘Cause from the infinite words I can say I
Put all pain you gave to me on display
But didn’t realize instead of setting it free I
Took what I hated and made it a part of me
And now you’ve become a part of me
You’ll always be right here
You’ve become a part of me
You’ll always be my fear
I can’t separate myself from what I’ve done
Giving up a part of me
I’ve let myself become you
Hearing your name the memories come back again
I remember when it started happenin’
I see you n’ every thought I had and then
The thoughts slowly found words attached to them
And I knew as they escaped away
I was committing myself to ’em n’ everyday
I regret saying those things ’cause now I see that I
Took what I hated and made it a part of me
And now you’ve become a part of me
You’ll always be right here
You’ve become a part of me
You’ll always be my fear
I can’t separate myself from what I’ve done
Giving up a part of me
I’ve let myself become you
Never goes away
Never goes away
Never goes away
Never goes away
Get away from me
Give me my space back, you gotta just go
Everything comes down the memories of you
I kept it in without letting you know
I let you go, so get away from me
There are just too many times that people have tried to look inside of me
Wondering what I think of you when I protect you out of courtesy
Too many times that I’ve held on when I needed to push away
Afraid to say what was on my mind, afraid to say what I need to say
Too many things that you’ve said about me when I’m not around
You think having the upper hand means you gotta keep putting me down
But I’ve had too many standoffs with you, it’s about as much as I could stand
So I’m waiting till the upper hand is mine
One minute you’re on top
The next you’re not, watch it drop
Making your heart stop
Just before you hit the floor
One minute you’re on top
The next you’re not, missed your shot
Making your heart stop
You think you’ve won
And then it’s all gone
So many people like me put so much trust in all your lies
So concerned with what you think to just say what we feel inside
So many people like me walk on eggshells all day long
All I know is that all I want is to feel like I’m not stepped on
There are so many things you say that make me feel you cross the line
What goes up will surely fall, and I am counting down the time
‘Cause I’ve had so many standoffs with you, it’s about as much as I could stand
So I’m waiting till the upper hand is mine
One minute you’re on top
The next you’re not, watch it drop
Making your heart stop
Just before you hit the floor
One minute you’re on top
The next you’re not, missed your shot
Making your heart stop
You think you’ve won
And then it’s all gone
I know I’ll never trust a single thing you say
You realize you divide us but you lied anyway
And all the lies have got you floating up above us all
But what goes up has got to fall
wasted
