 VERSE 2:
 This world wants to drown me with
 The things it's thinking of
 So now I don't want to see or breathe
 In this place that cannot love
 
 And I would rather lose my life
 Than to ever, ever lose my mind
 But in this world, in this land
 It's our thoughts that we cannot find
 
 CHORUS

 Try playing this along with the CD.
 It may not work, but I'm REALLY tired of messing with it.

 So you see me run away
 And you wonder why I am scared
 Well, I just can't help but think about
 the things of which we're not aware
