Super Xero [By Myself demo] lyrics

[Intro:]

So, what do you think ?

[1st Verse:]

What do I do to ignore what's behind me ?

Do I follow my fate to escape blindly ?

Do i hide my pride away

from these bad dreams

and give in to sad thoughts

that are maddening ?

Do I let go and try to stand it

or do I try to catch them red-handed ?

Do I trust some and

get fooled by phoniness

or do I trust no one and

live life in loneliness ?

Cause sunlight burns the skin of sleeping men.

I make the right turns but I'm lost within.

I put on my daily façade, but then,

I just end up getting hurt again by myself.

[Pre-Chorus:]

(MYSELF !)

I ask why

(but in my mind I find)

I can't rely on myself.

(MYSELF !)

I ask why

(but in my mind I find)

I can't rely on myself.

[Chorus:]

I can't hold on ;

(to what I want when I'm stretched so thin)

It's all too much to take in.

I can't hold on

(Playing against you, I can't win.)

with thoughts of failure sinking in.

[2nd Verse:]

If I turn my back, I'm defenseless.

And to give into fate seems senseless.

If I hide my pride, I'll lie sleepless

and won't be able to cope with my weakness.

If I let them go, I'll be outdone.

But if I try to catch them, I'll be outrun.

If I'm killed by the questions like a cancer,

then I'll be buried in the silence of the answer

by myself.

[Pre-Chorus:]

(MYSELF !)

I ask why

(but in my mind I find)

I can't rely on myself.

(MYSELF !)

I ask why

(but in my mind I find)

I can't rely on myself.

[Chorus:]

I can't hold on ;

(to what I want when I'm stretched so thin)

It's all too much to take in.

I can't hold on

(Playing against you, I can't win.)

with thoughts of failure sinking in.

[Bridge:]

How do you think I've lost so much ?

Always afraid that I'm out of touch.

How do you expect I will know what to do

when all I know is what you tell me to ?

Don't you (KNOW)

I can't tell you how to make it (GO).

No matter what I do, how hard I (TRY),

I can't seem to convince myself (WHY)

I'm stuck on the outside.

Don't you (KNOW)

I can't tell you how to make it (GO).

No matter what I do, how hard I (TRY),

I can't seem to convince myself (WHY)

I'm stuck on the outside.

[Chorus:]

I can't hold on ;

(to what I want when I'm stretched so thin)

It's all too much to take in.

I can't hold on

(Playing against you, I can't win.)

with thoughts of failure sinking in.

[Outro:]

I can't hold on ;

(to what I want when I'm stretched so thin)

It's all too much to take in.

I can't hold on

(Playing against me, I can't win.)

with thoughts of failure from with...
