lyrics

I can't decide whether to hate myself
Or claim that I'm above all others
Do I deserve attention
More or less than all my brothers
Would suicide send a message
That all I ever feel is worthless
Still, I'd never have the guts to do it
Besides, your pleasure is not quite worth it

Because you lie in the bed you make
I never make my bed, but I still lie
To make myself seem smarter
As I squander volumes of my life
Do I need medication
Or are these just symptoms of complaining
Children in third world countries
Starve while I worry 'bout my smile fading

You don't know me, You can't judge me
Do you feel me? Here's my story
You don't know me, You can't judge me
Do you feel me?

I hate to feel self-pity
Too many kids waste their time wallowing
And I'm not any better
But at least I don't pride myself on following
All the sheep and their shepherds
Forcing lonely virgins to cave in
I reject the idea
That denial is another form of acceptance

You don't know me, You can't judge me
Do you feel me? Here's my story
You don't know me, You can't judge me
Do you feel me?

You don't know me, You can't judge me
Do you feel me? Here's my story
You don't know me, You can't judge me
Do you feel me?

Cause I'd never have the guts
