    Lyrics
    I always waste my time just wondering
    What the next man thinks of me
    I'll never do exactly what I want
    And I'll sculpt my life for your acceptance

    I always waste my time just wondering
    What the next man thinks of me
    I'll never do exactly what I want
    And I'll sculpt my life for your acceptance

    Well I feel forgotten
    Feel like rotting
    (Do you feel the same?)
    (Do you feel the same?)
    Adolescence
    Just can't make sense
    (It's calling my name)
    (It's calling my name)

    I take a look around
    And all the things I've found
    I call it blind hatred
    If you'd stop a while
    And maybe if you'd smile
    You would realize that
    We're all the same

    It's just like our brain
    When it goes insane
    We feel the same pain

    All my life I've seemed to have this need
    I think at times it even turns to greed
    We all want to join some family
    We'll even sacrifice a moral changing

    And I feel forgotten
    Feel like rotting
    (Do you feel the same?)
    (Do you feel the same?)
    Adolescence
    Just can't make sense
    (It's calling my name)
    (It's calling my name)

    I take a look around
    And all the things I've found
    I call it blind hatred
    If you'd stop a while
    And maybe if you'd smile
    You would realize that
    We're all the same

    It's just like our brain
    When it apes insane
    We feel the same pain

    I take a look around
    And all the things I've found
    I call it blind hatred
    If you'd stop a while
    And maybe if you'd smile
    You would realize that
    We're all the same

    It's just like our brain
    When it apes insane
    We feel the same pain
