The sun is due to rise any minute And I'm still lying here awake Like a vampire I'm compulsively counting Tallying up all my mistakes I've been staring at the ceiling For hours Its blankness belies my inner strife I'm powerless to stop the torrent The voice that tells me I'm abhorrent For every failure in my life Pierced by many blades But each one I have made My arsenal is endlessly renewed For attacking my own defenses The result of all this violence is That I isolate myself away from you I know that you need someone you can count on As life throws everything it has at you And I know that my own reactions often Exacerbate what you're going through And though I know that I am only human I can't shake the feeling that it's not enough Though I try to be understanding For myself my standards are demanding My rulings may not be fair but they're tough Pierced by many blades But each one I have made My arsenal is endlessly renewed For attacking my own defenses The result of all this violence is That I isolate myself away from you
