Synth-pop power ballad, and an ode to owning up to disappointment.
I don't know what I'm capable of
No matter how hard I try.
I think that its all too much
When you look me straight in the eye.
I think it's all too tough
Having to witness my own demise.
You don't know what I'm capable of.
Yeah, but neither do I.
I've gone off the deep end.
And it's all too much to handle.
Everybody keeps trying to pretend
That there's somewhere left to go.
Tear it down,
Nothing like a little self-destruction.
To break ground
On the building up of raw emotion.
What's that sound?
It's the wrecking ball, fast approaching.
Leaving a mound
Of shattered hopes and ambitions.
(Tear it down,
Nothing like a little self-destruction.
To break ground
On the building up of raw emotion.)
I've gone off the deep end.
And the pain's too hard to swallow.
I keep trying to pretend
That there's somewhere else to go.
I think that I've had enough.
Of my own incessant lies.
You can never know which way is up.
Yeah, but neither do I.
I've gone off the deep end.
And it's all too much to handle.
Everybody keeps trying to pretend
That there's somewhere left to go.
Scream it loud,
Nothing like a little proclamation.
To lead the crowd,
And strike at the heart of every person.
Who's worn the crown
Of hopelessness and desperation.
In the empty shroud
Of forgotten dreams and expectations.
I think it's all too tough
Having to witness my own demise.
You don't know what I'm capable of.
Yeah, but neither do I.
I've gone off the deep end.
And it's all too much to handle.
Everybody keeps trying to pretend
That there's somewhere left to go.
