i've come to realize / that i cannot despise
the things in this world that i just cannot do
i have all i need / but i still cannot see
i want to believe but it's hard to concieve
we get caught up in / the things that don't mean jack
we've got to find a way that we can get back
we screw up our lives / and think it's the end
but it's only started i tell you my friend

she screwed up again / and she screwed my friend
there's no telling what this crap will do to him
i wish they would grow up / and see things like we do
and see that we're older we've already gone through
i want to scream out / and say all the things
that i've held in before in fear of hurting
all of the people / important to me
i don't want to hurt you but it's time to see

(chorus)
they treat us / like i treated that mouse
i tricked to kill / he invaded my house
they lie and say / everything we want to hear
they rip out our hearts / leaving us with the fear of them
