Takes Me Nowhere

When the day begins, all the guilt sinks in

And I look on the wreckage of the night

No one I try to break free, the cycle breaks me

Am I ever gonna see the light?

All the friends I've lost and the pain I've caused

Have never been enough just to make me stop

The lines I draw to look at myself

Are turning into somebody else

I know how this will end

But I'm starting up again

Turned around, inside out

'Cause this way

Takes me nowhere

(I can't, can't see a way out)

Takes me nowhere...

(I can't, can't see a way out)

Takes me nowhere...

(I can't, can't see a way out)

Beats me up...

When I go there...

(I know I could start again)

When I go there...

(Oh no, here we go again)

Takes me nowhere...

(Oh no, here we go again)

Beats me up...

Open on this scene a familiar dream

Of you telling me what I already know

Though the truth seems near, you can't get there from here

But you sure know where you gotta go

As the rumor wind blows, my infamy grows

Seeing friends above and I hit another low

The picture I paint to look at myself

Is turning into somebody else

I know how this will end

But I'm starting up again

Turned around, inside out

'Cause this way

Takes me nowhere...

(I can't, can't see a way out)

Takes me nowhere...

(I can't, can't see a way out)

Takes me nowhere...

(I can't, can't see a way out)

Beats me up...

When I go there...

(I know I could start again)

When I go there...

(Oh no, here we go again)

Takes me nowhere...

(Oh no, here we go again)

Beats me up...

But today, if I change

And stop digging my own grave

I will try to set things right

'Cause this way...

Takes me nowhere...

(I can't, can't see a way out)

Takes me nowhere...

(I can't, can't see a way out)

Takes me nowhere...

(I can't, can't see a way out)

Beats me up...

When I go there...

(I know I could start again)

When I go there...

(Oh no, here we go again)

Takes me nowhere...

(Oh no, here we go again)

Beats me up...
