From the recording Shooting Star
Lyrics
I don’t know why
Life seems to mock me everywhere I go
(rub it in my face)
Something’s laughing at me
Waiting to trap me
What will I do wrong this time
I watch my friends
Taking everything for granted
Like a wish on a shooting star
CHORUS:
You prance around with everything I wish I could obtain
So how can you be so surprised when I slip into a rage
Don’t you dare be so afraid of me
I tell you how I feel and then you run
To the safety of your velvet cage is home
It seems so strange
That people stress this thing called karma
(I’m ignored)
If it’s real, then I have yet to see it
You assume someone you love will feel the same
Your friends are just a given
They’ll never leave your side
CHORUS
I’m slipping again
Resentment clouding up my head
I’m drowning again
My insides filling up with dread
Why
What happened
Where did I go wrong
What did I do to deserve this
CHORUS
The safety of your velvet cage is home
The comfort of a life I’ve never known
