[Verse 1]
On a mission started by my own admission
I will leave you all behind
By direction Ill create my own protection
The real me you'll never find
Aspirations turn to fear and desperation
Nothings ever good enough for you
Burn in sorrow cause I see there's no tomorrow
I know you're singing, what I want you to
[Pre-Chorus]
Never going to find me[x2]
Way down deep inside there is a real me
I'm always going to hide and this is who you'll see
[Chorus]
Never going to find me[x2]
Way down deep inside they haven't found me yet
I'm always going to hide and this is who you'll get
[Verse 2]
On a mission to establish my attrition
You may think that you have won
Your rejection has brought on my introspection
Ill escape, Ill only run
Accusations may destroy my motivation
I can feel it when you're pushing me
Burn in sorrow cause I see there's no tomorrow
Only I know which me you'll see
[Pre-Chorus]
[Chorus]
[Verse 3]
Break away, run
Down inside, I've got to
Push it way, down
I did not choose this, talk to me
I don't really know
What I want to say
I can't afford the throw
Can't make it go away now
Try to make it through
Fuck your decision
I can't feel myself
But I'm burning up now
[Bridge][x3]
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
(Never going to find me)
[Outro]
Oh, oh, oh[x3]
On a mission started by my own admission
