Sacrifice

I pull myself together just to live another day
I'm writing songs but I got absolutely nothing to say
I wish you felt the way I feel my whole life passing me by
it feels so wrong and so unfair and I can't figure out why
I'm here for you and I know you have always been there for me
we've been to places so disturbing that they shouldn't be real
but in the end I'm standing next to you and what do I see
my only friend is just a specular reflection of me

If that's the truth that I've been looking for my whole life
If that's the answer to the greatest question out there
then I'm never gonna sacrifice myself to this world
no, I'm never gonna sacrifice myself to this life you've written me

I pull myself together just to live another day
I'm writing songs but I got absolutely nothing to say
I wish you felt the way I feel my whole life passing me by
it feels so wrong and so unfair and I can't figure out why

everytime I look outside I see you killing yourself
I'm out of pity and compassion, man I'd do it myself
I see your smiles are hiding more than you would like to admit
and it's ok I understand - it's cuz you're all full of ****.

If that's the truth that I've been looking for my whole life
If that's the answer to the greatest question out there
then I'm never gonna sacrifice myself to this world
no, I'm never gonna sacrifice myself to this life you've written me
