Lyric

Losses, losers and more... Gain of life's pleasures
Cohorts listen behind the doors,
To a life, sheltered in... Less than zero in me
All my walls falling down... Pains aloft, misery

I'm sure that the lessons were learned
I'm sure that the punishments went well deserved
By the pawn in the plan... Taste of shit, bitterness
Walk from me, everything, systematically

Come on! You're the one,
You're the one to dredge up shit inside of me,
In my pointless life of nothing...
(Tell me!) what I'm supposed to be
(Tell me!) who I'm supposed to be
(Tell me!) what it takes to ascend
(Tell me!) what it takes to live

Patience, pleasures and rewards come in due time
Stare at the sun... I'm bored in a life, meaningless
Soaking up all of me, like The Cross you worship
Life is loss... Look at me

I'm sure that some day we'll wake up
I'm sure that some day we'll wake from -
-the dream of success and focus,
Tunneling to the light glowing deep 'side of me

You're taunting... I wake up!
Come on! You're the one,
You're the one to dredge up shit inside of me,
In my pointless life of nothing...
(Tell me!) what I'm supposed to be
(Tell me!) who I'm supposed to be
(Tell me!) what it takes to ascend
(Tell me!) what it takes to live
Tell me now!... Tell me now!...

Pain... Misery... Distress... Dismal...
Nowhere! Depressed! Idiot! Failure!
Loser! (In me!)... Loser! (Who I am!)...
Loser! (In me!)...

Don't feel sorry... Don't feel sorry for me...
Don't need your sympathy or empathy
Don't need your sympathy inside of me
Don't need your sympathy or empathy
Don't need your sympathy inside of me
Don't feel sorry... Don't feel sorry for me...

Come on! I know... You're the one,
You're the one, numb to feelings inside of me
Why I've seized my vision! (*)
(Don't need!) you to tell me who to be!
(Don't need!) you to tell me what to be!
(Don't need!) you to tell me how to ascend!
(Don't need!) you to tell me how to live!

*note:
This line is a statement, not a question...
as in, "Because you were numb to me, I seized my vision!"
or simply, "You're why I've seized my vision!"
And is why in the following alternative Chorus lines,
"Tell me..." is replaced with "Don't need you to..."
