a bureaucracy to call my own Lyrics

Selfish ambitions

And one-sided questions

That puts you on the edge

Then drives you over it

An overachiever

Self-righteous browbeater

I've become my focus

and you've lost your patience

When did these voices make my head their home

Pointing their fingers and casting their stones?

In a bureaucracy to call my own

You were the victim

Of my emotional venom

But you always said you forgave me

For a life not worth living

My head is tied up with mental red tape

And the drugs no longer help me escape

But you can't go on

(But you can't go on)

And you can't go on living this way

You've left me here on a throne

To live my remaining days all alone

In a bureaucracy to call my own
