I've felt too much and I'm turning numb Like a worn-out knife, I've become so dull It's easier to shut out the world and be a monster And far harder with no armour to be human I keep pouring myself into songs Am I running out by living on? I can still hear him say 'It's better to burn out than fade away' I'm starting to waste away A bitter sweet dance in a slow ballet The twists and turns, they're beating me down I'm following steps blindly Tied down, confined to the routine The pages turn but it's always the same Someone give me direction Someone give me a sign I feel no connection just walking the line Cause it's easier to shut out the world and be a monster And far harder with no armour to be human It's easier to shut out the world and be a monster And far harder with no armour to be human I keep pouring myself into songs Am I running out by living on? I can still hear him say 'It's better to burn out than fade away' I'm starting to waste away A bitter sweet dance in a slow ballet The twists and turns, they're beating me down I'm following steps blindly Tied down, confined to the routine The pages turn but it's always the same
