Paralyzed. Nothing's getting through to me.
Hypnotized from all my surroundings.
I want to be something I could never be.
I want to say things that I could never say.
Yeah, I'm gonna do it again!

Sick of my life. I'm tired of everything in my life.

Dragged down. Rubbing my face in the ground.
No time for the undecided.
I want to know why I've always felt alone,
And I want to love. Why am I untouchable?
Yeah, I'm gonna do it again!

Sick of my life. I'm tired of everything in my life.
I never wanted to be sick of my life.
I'm tired of everything in my life
