Lyrics
My life is a constant entrapment of tunnels Which tangle and wind and beguile And regardless of where I may tumble or funnel I wonder what’s really worthwhile Sometimes it can seem like a merciless dream And I’m falling with nothing to hold Sometimes I get flustered and beaten and blistered Abandoned outside in the cold But I’m gonna win I’m gonna try I’ll never lose I’ll never die You’ve seen me before You’ll see me again I’ll never give up I’ll never give in ‘Till I’m bloody and bruised ‘Till I’ve broken my bones ‘Till I won’t be abused ‘Till I’m laughing alone It’s hard to be charming and smart and disarming It’s hard to pretend you’re the best It’s hard to fulfill everyone’s expectations It’s hard to keep up with the rest But I’m gonna win I’m gonna try I’ll never lose I’ll never die You’ve seen me before You’ll see me again I’ll never give up I’ll never give in ‘Till I’m bloody and bruised ‘Till I’ve broken my bones ‘Till I won’t be abused ‘Till I’m laughing alone How do you feel? You’ve been concealing your worries from the world But you can reveal them to me I wouldn’t know I go on even though I’ll be bloody and bruised I’ll be breaking my bones I’ll be paying my dues I’ll be laughing alone
All Of My Friends Lyrics
My life is a constant entrapment of tunnels Which tangle and wind and beguile And regardless of where I may tumble or funnel I wonder what’s really worthwhile Sometimes it can seem like a nightmarish dream And I’m falling with nothing to hold Sometimes I get flustered and beaten and blistered Abandoned outside in the cold But all of my friends Help me go And all of my friends Let me know That it's all in my head There's no room to be blue Everything will be fine I'll be making it through It’s hard to be charming and smart and disarming It’s hard to keep up with the rest It’s hard to fulfill everyone’s expectations It’s hard to pretend you’re the best But all, all of my friends Help me go And all of my friends Let me know That it's all in my head There's no room to be blue Everything will be fine I'll be making it through How do you feel? You’ve been concealing your worries from the world But you can reveal them to me We might assist, if we'd really exist But you're all in my head There's no room left for you Everything will be fine I'll be making it through
Alternate All Of My Friends Ending
We might assist, if we'd really exist But you're all in my head There's no room left for you Everything will be fine Let me make my way through You're all in my head There's no room left for you Everything will be fine
