Self Imposed

~Erlich

I don't want to listen to the radio
I don't want to watch my TV show
Right now my brain is so loud
All the world is drowning out

House on fire but I can't see
I shut out what's in front of me
I don't want to let you see me crawl
But it's too damn hard to explain it all

I don't want tot close the secret door
I don't want to feel alone any more
Looks so pretty but it's just as well
Self imposed is no less a hell

I build it up to tear it down
I build it up to tear it down
Drive my nails into the cold, cold ground
I build it up to tear it down

You better watch the second hand
When the first pretends to understand
Grace is great when the world is bright
But can you make it ok when I put out the light

I build it up to tear it down
I build it up to tear it down
Drive my nails into the cold, cold ground
I build it up to tear it down

Look around, you will find I am already gone.

Trouble is as trouble does
Come here, let me show you what the trouble was
Come here let me show you how my voice gets dark
Hear the troubled words of a troubled heart
