I've Got A Bead On You, Stranger Lyrics

I had that dream again

The one where I am out lost in the wilderness

Being chased by a monster made of all my mistakes

The path that it takes has got me running around in circles as I'm wasting away

I try to quit all these things that pull me down

But I'm not over it

Every corner of this town is just

Another reminder of the time that was spent

When we were young, but now it's haunting me

I wish I was dead

I really need some help

Why can't you save me from myself?

Look into my eyes, you'll see

I'm not the boy I was pretending to be anymore

They see me fall again

I am choking on the air that I am breathing in

It's burning up my lungs

I've been here before, with my face on the floor and my fist in the air

How I wish I didn't care!

I try to cope

I'm hanging from a noose made out of velvet rope

It's swinging me to death

This pendulum beat is counting down my defeat

In this pit that I've been living in

I really need some help

Why can't you save me from myself?

Look into my eyes, you'll see

I'm not the boy I was pretending to be anymore

You know that every time I try

They find another reason why and knock me down again

Look in my eyes and you'll see

I'm not the boy I was pretending to be anymore

When the lights went out, and the hourglass was empty

I realized I spent my whole life pretending I was someone else

And the only one I fooled, the only one I cheated was myself

Please, help me

We're all so lost, we're all so lost

Can you save us from ourselves?

We're all so lost, we're all so lost

Can you save us from ourselves?

I really need some help

Why can't you save me from myself?

Take a look into my eyes, you'll

I'm not the boy I was pretending to be anymore
