lyrics

bent out of shape half asleep and a pounding head
late afternoon and i've still not left my bed
replaying the things you have and have not said
my life is a ruse and kinda weird in my head
...
i cannot talk i barely make a sound
sometimes i wonder why you stick around
it seems you could have any boy or man in town
my life is a ruse and kinda strange i've found
..
no one belongs here more than me myself
and i feel i used to be
able to handle or cope with things more suitably
...
late at night looking out in the dark
feeling cold like i dont got no heart
no value for you but did i at the start
my life is a ruse and a subterfuge and dead at certain parts
my life is a ruse and a subterfuge and dead at certain parts
...
