Twiztid Lyrics

They tend to misunderstand
People often misinterpret or misjudge

The paper man with scissor hands
Referring to oneself as a fragile and vulnerable individual

Who watches the hourglass for grains of sand
Constantly waiting for time to pass and hoping for change

To fall and fall again, as he pretends
Experiencing disappointment repeatedly, while putting on a facade of contentment

That everything he lays his hands
Everything he touches

On doesn't turn to shreds
Doesn't end up destroyed or ruined

But why oh why does he persist to hide
Questioning the reason for continuing to isolate oneself

When they insist he try to come outside
Despite others encouraging him to interact with the world

From the shell he lives inside
Breaking free from the protective barrier he has created

Now he's been hypnotized
Now he's become entranced or captivated

And despite the lies
Regardless of the falsehoods he may encounter

He sit's and wait's to die
He passively waits for his life to end

Cause he can't find the words
Because he struggles to express himself

To explain the rain
To articulate his emotional turmoil

All his emotions are transformed
His feelings are constantly changing

And now become pain
And now turn into suffering

He's alive in a black hole, empty in space
Feeling trapped and hollow, like being lost in darkness

And he sit's in front of the
He sits alone in front of

Mirror and he's face to face
Looking directly at his reflection

With the sadness, confusion
Confronting his own feelings of sadness and confusion

His patience, he's losing
Running out of patience

He's substance abusing
Using substances as a coping mechanism

He's one with the music
Finding solace and connection in music

And he needs a little something
Seeking something to fill the void

To dial it all back
To calm or diminish the overwhelming emotions

Cause he's running in a race
Because he's constantly striving and competing

But he's not on track
But he's not headed in the right direction

Love don't live here anymore
Love has disappeared from his life

It's been cold since you went away
Since the person he loved left, his life feels empty and cold

Now I've been trying to get myself together
Making efforts to regain stability and composure

Is there something I could say
Wondering if there are words that could change the situation

That'll make you stay
That will convince the person to stay

I've been trying to get my head together
Attempting to organize his thoughts and emotions

But things just don't seem to go my way
But nothing seems to work out positively for him

All is see when I'm looking at you is me
When he sees the person he loves, he only sees himself reflected

And everyday gets a little bit harder
Each day becomes increasingly challenging

Like a piece of my life's puzzle
Like a missing part of his life

Has been slipped under the carpet
Has been ignored or overlooked

And until this day
And up until now

I'm feeling like I'm never gonna find it
He feels like he will never discover what is missing

I smoke a cigarette and hope for the best
Smoking a cigarette as a way to find solace or escape

But sometimes
However

That cigarette is just smoke in the chest
The act of smoking provides no real comfort

And I lay in bed but it's
And lying in bed, but it's

Nothing to do with getting rest
Not about finding sleep or relaxation

Instead I use it as an
Rather, he uses it as

Escape from all the mess
A means of avoiding or distracting from his problems

Nothing seems to matter
Nothing holds significance or importance

I'm only getting sadder and sadder
He is becoming increasingly sad

Cause I'm not even sure what I'm after
Because he is unsure of his desires or goals

I know my life's a disaster and
He acknowledges that his life is chaotic and troubled

I better straighten it out
He needs to resolve or improve his situation

And stand tall or fall victim
To either face his problems head-on or be overcome by them

Of getting caught in
Of becoming trapped in

A spiraling downfall of emotion that I call
The downward spiral of his emotions

Devotion and destruction of everything
Both his commitment and the act of destroying everything around him

And it's my fault
He takes responsibility for his actions and their consequences

I'm hoping to try more, let's open up my door
He desires to make more effort and be more vulnerable

And let em know that I'm bringing
To inform others that he is presenting

Me back like an encore
A return or revival of his true self

I'm an example of a bad example
He sees himself as a negative role model

And as ample as it may seem, a sample
Despite appearing plentiful, it's just a small representation

Of this poisonous apple'll maybe
Of this harmful or toxic influence, perhaps

Rattle a daydream
Disturb or disrupt a fantasy or ideal

But I'm giving you reality checks
He is offering doses of truth and realism

And if you get it then it's properly spent
If you understand his message, then it's effectively delivered

If you can't handle it yet, gimme a sec
If you can't handle the truth at the moment, give him a moment

I'll make ya proud of me
He will strive to earn your approval and admiration

Instead of surrounding me
Rather than being overwhelmed or burdened by others

Totally hounding me
Constantly pressuring or pestering him

Expecting me to be like all the rest
Holding him to the same standards as everyone else

And I gotta be honest, I'm not sure
He admits his uncertainty

Who the fuck I am on a constant basis
He struggles with his own identity on a regular basis

So many faceless faces that are faced with
Encountering numerous individuals with undefined identities

"Who the fuck am I?" What a shame
"Who am I?" What a regrettable and unfortunate situation

And it's not so much the lies
The lies are not the main issue

I'm just lost in my mind
He is mentally confused and disoriented

Trying to find what it is that
Attempting to discover what

Makes me feel right inside
Brings him a sense of fulfillment or contentment

And I'm submerged by the urge to
He is consumed by the desire to

Make it my day and night
Make it his sole focus and priority

I'm in the struggle looking to
He is enduring difficulties and striving to

Fight for the right
Fight for what is just or fair

To be more than just alright
To transcend mediocrity and mere adequacy

And I'm looking for more light
He is searching for illumination or guidance

So I can see what they got
So he can better understand or perceive what others possess

In store for my life
What the future holds for his existence
