I know right now I can be anywhere I'd like to But I'll never know where that is I'll just stay frustrated from the fits Of rage that pops up When I'm not paying attention Everyone's convinced I've deprived of affection Cause I don't even know how to accept A genuine friendship My shield just reflects Any sort of nice conversation In the atmosphere I can't take the subject anywhere but here And it just goes deathly quiet You tell me you understand But I don't ever really buy it These off balanced chemicals in my brain Keeps me locked on a ball and chain To my computer screen everyday Learning too much to remember anything anyway I just get a little glimpse of what knowledge I might have And it all goes to bands you probably think are bad But that just makes me love them more anyways I'll always prefer genuine feelings over a pretty face Change your ways, watch what you say Words hurt more and more and more everyday As we climb Towards higher consciousness It gets more dangerous We could change the world But we're too oblivious But that just makes me love them more anyways I'll always prefer genuine feelings over a pretty face Change your ways, watch what you say Words hurt more and more and more everyday As we climb Towards higher consciousness It gets more dangerous We could change the world But we're too oblivious
