i've seen it all before - time and time again
  as close as i would ever dare to be
  and yet without a doubt - i will disagree
  the sudden truth is no surprise to me
    i know there is no easy way
  i've said it from the start
  sometimes you've got to live the life
  and feel the pain
  i hear a beat inside my head
  i feel it in my heart
  but just the thought of it is driving me insane
  it's tearing me apart
    i hear a distant voice - very far away
  i'm silent now - i don't know what to say
  i've felt a strong desire
  to set myself on fire
  i don't think that would work for me today
