lyrics

It's been a year of destruction and defeat
Did things turn out like you planned?
Because you've gone so far
Like you were on fire
But the words that you write have already been sung before

Make it loud, make it fast
Pray to God to make it last
Unacceptable, unthinkable, it's wrong
Because I know just what it's like
To believe in something and watch it die right before my eyes

To understand and to learn to live
You first must lose it all
YOU'RE NOT ORIGINAL
Who can be?
When all melodies and chords have been taken
It's all ready taken

CHORUS

You are nothing
You are no one at all
The songs you write are not special.

CHORUS

I'm sick of simulating what I know
