[Verse 1]
It never gets old
All of the stories that haven’t been told
All of them sold
Doomed to repeat
Telling the same story
It has defeated me
Im not on my feet
I’m in my head
Trying to sink my ship
Filling with dread
But I’m sinking instead
Tied to the mast
Hurry!
Down with the ship, it’s the past!
I hang from the mast
[Verse 2]
I’m not on my line
In fact, my lifeline turned into my deadline
I’m cut to offline
I have my mind
To decide and define it
What someone will find
I’m wasting my time
On riddles and rhymes
That are distracting my eyes and my mind from the present time
Then finally I find
I’m sinking to die in this hole in my mind
This desolate shrine...
[Chorus]
Can you hear me?
Can you hear me?
I am lonely
Can you hear me?
Can you hear me?
Can you hear me?
I am lonely
Can you hear me?
[Interlude]
(Instrumental)
[Verse 3]
I-I don’t want my name
I need a new name thats not full of blame, miss my aim, or earned shame
For I’m done with this game
I’m done trying to hide it
I lost trust and confided in myself and the same
Brew of blasphemous things
That have destroyed my pride
That have left me denied
Of my peace of mind
My path isn’t mine
My soul isn’t fine
My thoughts undefined
I fell off my straight line
[Verse 4]
I want to be
I want to be unashamed, unafraid and totally free
Don’t want your words near me
Complete independency’s all that I wanna see
Hear out my plea!
Please give me the key
I say I wanna be like you
I know I wanna be like you
But they say all I do is I wanna be you
All I do is slander and strike you
[Verse 5]
Of course I’m a wannabe
I wannabe not a me
I wannabe someone whose trade is not tragedy
I’m not free, sadly, I’m living despondently
Trapped by catastrophe
Tortured infernally
I have no mercy for mercy is not for me
Speak no apology
Forging my destiny
Light I don’t see
I see in the sky darkly
So please, come and rescue me!
[Chorus]
Can you hear me?
Can you hear me?
I am lonely
Can you hear me?
Can you hear me?
Can you hear me?
I am lonely
Can you hear me?
