don't you hate how nothing's right
don't you hate for what you fight
don't you hate the life you live
your power taken, tears you shed
hate you not that which you have
hate you what you wish you had
want you what you cannot see
want you what known cannot be
fall you down upon your face
in front of that you cannot taste
crying to yourself in sleep
nothing that you want is free
you pay with all your heart and soul
but in the end you're still alone
a giant target fading fast
beyond your reach, beyond your grasp
unable to prove your mind
unwanting to submit to lies
your being just a strand of time
what you know you always cry
you learn a new every day
and always it causes pain
you will your life to let you be
lying in the gutter of misery
take a step and fall right back
your life is stuck in a crack
all your time wasted for naught
all the love you gave not got
nothing that you want is free
