Today, I found out
Everything comes undone
My world is painted grey
Dark clouds black out the sun
I need the deepest of wounds
The scars of my life never die
And what I feel the most
The pleasure of pain
The only thing that keeps me alive
It's pulling me under
Don't follow me
Cause you don't know where I am going
It's taking me over
And I can't break free
So don't follow me
Down to nowhere
Today, I found out
That everything comes undone
I wanna close my eyes, and go inside
To the place where I become so numb
Ever since I got lost
I've been so far away
I can't find my way back
I'll never be the same
I guess that I'm to blame for everything
I'm so sorry, sorry, sorry
It's pulling me under
Don't follow me
Cause you don't know where I am going
It's taking me over
And I can't break free
So don't follow me
Down to nowhere
No matter what I say
No matter what I do
I can't give away
All that I've been through
This voice inside my head
Reminds me that it's true
Everyday I'm alive
I will live with this pain
Now I know how it feels
Will this ever end
It's pulling me under
Don't follow me
Cause you don't know where I am going
It's taking me over
And I can't break free
So don't follow me
Down to nowhere
