I Am Not Here

Lyrics:

You take one look at me and say that I'm a freak.
But I don't really care because you don't mean much to me.
You think my universe revolves around your life
You give yourself too much credit, so carelessly.

I, I am not here
I'm not the one
I do not care at all
I, I am not here
I'm not the one
I do not feel at all

I really don't care what you do or say today
It's not my big concern, not even on my list of things to do
So maybe you should get another whipping boy
Because quite frankly I am sick and tired of you.

And if you hear me crying in the night
It has nothing to do with anything to do with you
It's just the endless life of misery
That keeps us all pressed to the grindstone of worthless apathy.

You think that you control my every thought
But I'll show you that you don't have any power at all
I run my life and it's just as I please
So go your way because to me you're just a wall.

And if you hear me crying in the night
It has nothing to do with anything to do with you
It's just the endless life of misery
That keeps us all pressed to the grindstone of worthless apathy.
I know I lie a lot even to me
But it's just my way to cope with all the stuff you put me through
It's all a lie but maybe some day soon
It'll turn out to be something close to true.

I, I am not here.
