Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Are you still watching
Are you still watching
Been in this house for way too long
Not sure why I wrote this song
Are you still watching
Nah I'm gone
I gotta find where it went wrong
Slowly losing track of time
Can't tell wrong from right
Don't shoot me until you see the white in my eyes
I'm suffocated and I can't take it
I can't take it anymore
I'm suffocated and I can't take it
I can't fake it anymore
The walls around me caving in
I can't breathe
I can't pretend
Mirror on the wall my only friend
Slowly losing track of time
Can't tell wrong from right
Don't shoot me until you see the white in my eyes
I'm suffocated and I can't take it
I can't take it anymore
I'm suffocated and I can't take it
I can't fake it anymore
Anymore
Anymore
Anymore
I can’t take it anymore
I'm suffocated and I can't take it
I can't take it anymore
I'm suffocated and I can't take it
I can't fake it anymore
Are you still watching




I can't take it anymore
Are you still watching

Twenty-five years and my life is still
Trying to get up that great big hill of hope
For a destination
I realized quickly when I knew I should
That the world was made up of this brotherhood of man
For whatever that means
And so I cry sometimes
When I'm lying in bed just to get it all out
What's in my head
And I, I am feeling a little peculiar
And so I wake in the morning
And I step outside
And I take a deep breath and I get real high
And I scream from the top of my lungs
What's going on?
And I say, hey yeah yeah, hey yeah yeah
I said hey, what's going on?
And I say, hey yeah yeah, hey yeah yeah
I said hey, what's going on?
Oh, oh oh
Oh, oh oh
And I try, oh my god do I try
I try all the time, in this institution
And I pray, oh my god do I pray
I pray every single day
For a revolution
And so I cry sometimes
When I'm lying bed
Just to get it all out
What's in my head
And I, I am feeling a little peculiar
And so I wake in the morning
And I step outside
And I take a deep breath and I get real high
And I scream from the top of my lungs
