Sticks and stones from a strangers throw
Have never much affected me
But words from those
Supposedly who matter most
Are nothing but poisoning

You cut me down
Drag me out
Down and out to your level
I'll never find myself stooping down to this

(it feels like it's)
Taking a part of me
From the inside
(it takes the best parts of me)
And I don't know why
I'm here anyway
But it feels like
Falling to my face
Adhering to every part of me

My pessimistic attitude is contagious
With friends like these who needs enemies?

You cut me down
Call me out
Take your opportunity
Just to scrutinize every single word
That I say

(it feels like it's)
Taking apart of me
From the inside
(it takes the best parts of me)
And I don't know why
I'm here anyway
But it feels like

Falling!
To my face, face, face

And I know all about this place
I'd say it was a part of me
Take this mind and make me clean

Please!

Please push me cause I'm close to the edge!
Finally I won't lose my head!

(it feels like it's)
Taking a part of me
From the inside
(you take the best parts of me)
Now that I'm finding why
I'm here anyway
Makes me feel like
Falling to my knees

Adhering to every part of me!
