Dead and diseased
It's all that your words are to me
You're so anxious to explain yourself
I know you hear only yourself
It looks like you want me to crawl
And you like it when I take the fall
But I know you don't want me to leave
I have listened to you but
Why won't you let me speak
Listen to me
You're talking to me
But you don't know me
You don't own me
Know that you're only a shell
only a shell
So full of yourself
Full of yourself
Why are you talking to me
Why don't you see
That you don't know me
You don't own me
Know that you're only a shell
only a shell to me
Fiction and dreams
You're close and I know what it means
When you touch and give me that stare
I'll drown in the smell of your hair
And I feel I'll be paralyzed
I feel I must have compromised
Myself and all that I have proved
I have listened to you but
Why won't you let me speak
Listen to me
You're talking to me
But you don't know me
You don't own me
Know that you're only a shell
only a shell
So full of yourself
Full of yourself
Why are you talking to me
Why don't you see
That you don't know me
You don't own me
Know that you're only a shell
only a shell to me
The sound of your voice is gone
But I see you in everyone
I see your scars within me
So deep within me
Memories everywhere
They are leading me back nowhere
And you take pleasure from it
Pleasure from it
Why won't you let me be
Listen to me
You're talking to me
But you don't know me
You don't own me
Know that you're only a shell
only a shell
So full of yourself
Full of yourself
Why are you talking to me
Why don't you see
That you don't know me
You don't own me
Know that you're only a shell
only a shell to me
