hey you
Godhead Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

How many times will I ask how I came to be here?
And how many times will you demand that I sacrifice?
Hey you
What do you want from me?
Hey you
What are you going to do to me?
Primal confusion fills the air
Surrounding everything in here
Your calloused brain can't comprehend my forced resistance
It's never enough now I'm in hell

I'm running away, find someone else
You give me just enough to live on
You cut my tongue out just to stop me from remarking about
Everything you want you simply expect to be given
You'll never change but you keep changing me
Hey you
Hey you
It's never enough now I'm in hell
I'm running away find someone else




It's never enough now I'm in hell
I'm running away find someone else
