When I close my eyes all I see are visions of you
And then I open my eyes, your asumth holds me down
I try but I can't shake myself loose

I can't command my brain
All I do is shrink and think of one thing
I'm sitting alone beside me
I'm digging a hole inside myself

All I want in the world I think I've found
When I look into your eyes
All I know is that I'm tired of the world around me
Please, please
Please, don't ignore me...

Dedicated, here I am
Thinking of you with everything within me
I know you'll never feel me, never see me
Never know these thoughts of mine

But in my mind you're always there
Always smiling, always reaching out for me
The days don't warm with heartache
The days don't warm with emptiness

What I want is to somehow matter to you
Even if all else rejects me
All I know is that I'm hammered of the world around me
Please, please
Please, don't destroy me...

All I want in the world I think I've found
When I look into your eyes
All I know is that I'm tired of the world around me
Please, please
Please, don't ignore me...

I'd burn down time, modify a way to get through to you
I know I'm standing in line for handouts that'll never come
But still, I don't care!

Feeling like, looking like
They've confused everything
Pure is everything I am
Made out, wide eyed, exposed
Unable to forget you!

All I want is to somehow matter to you
Even all else rejects me
All I know is that I'm hammered of the world around me
Please, please
Please, don't destroy me...
