Once there was a nothing, the voices rang so true The knowledge that was lacking, cut innocence in two Everything seemed too good to be right When I was 16 I was too uptight
Now disappointment’s shadow reveals a colder time A harder kind of living in disillusion How can it go the fear of the night Now I am grown, I’m just too uptight
A slow and noble breakdown of personality Careless, heartless, soulless, no dignity My days are flown and I can’t recall Feeling so alone was I so uptight
Death creeps ever closer, a darkness falls in me A scared fragmented loner unholy A night with no end an echoing sea I’ll think about me, how I’m too uptight
