Under My Feet
Celldweller Lyrics

So this is how it feels to suffer?
Is this the emotional pain that has been talked about?

And I had too much to say
I wish I had spoken less or chosen my words better

But it's over now
It's finished; nothing can be done to change what has happened

And I'm going down
I am emotionally losing control and spiraling downward

Alone, alone
I am completely by myself and no one else can fully understand or help me

I've no guarantees
I don't know what the future holds or how to help myself

I'll recognize my disease
I might not even realize my own issues or negative behavior patterns

Before my time has gone
It's a race against time before it's too late to change

It's all I've found
I don't have many options or resources to help myself

Can't get the hell off the ground
I am stuck and can't move forward or upward

Out from under my feet
It's blocking my ability to move, control or attempt anything

Promises and wishes all mean nothing
Words have no power or value in themselves; actions do

When it's me that I'm speaking to
No one else can hear my inner voice, so I need to be accountable to myself

Wanting something
Wishing and hoping for something would not guarantee it to happen

Won't mean I will see it through
It takes more than just wanting or wishing to accomplish something

I don't need to see these visions to remind me
I don't need outside reminders; I am already aware of my inner struggles

That I'm dying from the inside out
My emotional state is deteriorating, and it's affecting my entire being

Wanting you here
Me wanting others around me would not change the root cause of my struggle

It still means I must do without
Regardless of my desire, I need to find ways to deal with my issues by myself

I can't criticize your reasons for living
I can't judge or invalidate other people's motivations for living their lives

When you're the one missing them
If someone is struggling, they can't see beyond their pain to understand others

Wanting, dreaming
Again, just hoping or wishing does not equate to taking action or making real changes

That I may find where they come from
Finding the source of one's problems is the first step towards lasting solutions

Find where they come from
I want to understand the root cause of my emotional pain

I dream you
I long to see and feel positive emotions in my life and relationships

And I want to
I have earnest desires to do better and live differently

Be near you
I need others' support and companionship to heal and mature emotionally

I can't get up out from under my feet
I am still experiencing the consequences of my negative emotional state

I've tried to
I've attempted to heal or fix things but with little success

But can't get it through
I need more help and support to overcome this situation

I need to
I understand the urgency and importance of healing my emotional pain

God is all I've found
I have no other source of help or hope at this point

So this is how it feels, you sucker
This is your current situation and emotional pain that is holding you down

And you've had too much to say
You might have spoken too much or revealed too much about your life to others

You're finally going down
You are losing control of your emotions and starting to suffer the consequences

Alone, alone
No one else can truly understand or help you, and it's a battle you have to fight alone
