Interlude: The interlude is the same lyrics and guitar riff as the post chorus. However,
guitar doesn’t come in until the line ‘You would realise’ where you play a killer pick
and the following line you start the guitar again.

Lyrics:
Intro:
I always waste my time just wondering
What the next man thinks of me
And I'll never do exactly what I want
And I'll sculpt my life for your acceptance
Verse 1:
I always waste my time just wondering
What the next man thinks of me
I'll never do exactly what I want
And I'll sculpt my life for your acceptance
Chorus:
And I feel forgotten
Feel like rotting
(Do you feel the same?)
(Do you feel the same?)
Adolescence
Just can't make sense
(It's calling my name!)
(It's calling my name!)
Post Chorus:
I take a look around
And all the things I've found
I call it blind hatred
If you'd stop a while
And maybe if you'd smile
You would realize that
We're all the same!
It's just like our brain
When it goes insane
We feel the same pain
Verse 2:
All my life I've seemed to have this need
I think at times it even turns to greed
We all want to join some family
We'll even sacrifice a moral changing
