98 Mute - Wounds Lyrics

Paranoid, I am an android
A checker in a game of chess
Out of place, I'm from outer space
Better than being a pawn I guess

I am deep in thought but not having
Any deep thoughts, I am frayed
Always beg to differ but never make
A difference, it's not okay

Why does this feel so empty?
Why do I feel so numb?
Why do the days all seem
To come undone, unsung?

Gladly I sit with Boo Radley
Even he speaks in tongues to me
The cupboards bare, why do I even care?
The entire world's Greek to me

I will play along but I'm longing to be played out
I'm afraid
I am lonely even when I'm not alone
In disarray

Not asking for a handout
Not asking for rewards
I know there must be something more
Something more

Why does this feel so empty?
Why do I feel so numb?
Why do the days all seem
To come undone, unsung?

Pseudo Panacea, this wound won't heal
A faux antiserum, this wound will never heal
Anti Antiseptic, this cut won't fucking heal
I have a hole in my soul, a hole that needs filled, needs filled

Not asking for a handout
Not asking for rewards
I know there must be something more
Something more

Why does this feel so empty?
Why do I feel so numb?
Why do the days all seem
To come undone, unsung?
