Lyrics for Where Is Everybody?

Did you happen to catch or did it happen so fast What you thought would always last has passed you by Is everything speeding up Or am I slowing down, I'm just spinning around And I don't know why All the pieces don't fit Thought I didn't give a shit I never wanted to be like you But for all I aspire, I am really a liar And I'm running out of things I can do I'd like to stay but every day Everything pushes me farther away If you could show, help me to know How it's supposed to be Where did it go? Pleading and needing And bleeding and breeding Feeding, exceeding Where is everybody? Trying and lying Defying, denying Crying and dying Where is everybody? Well okay, enough, you've had your fun But come on there has to be someone That hasn't yet become so numb and succumb And god damn I am so tired of pretending Of wishing I was ending When all I'm really doing is trying to hide And keep it inside and fill it with lies Open my eyes, maybe I wish I could try Pleading and needing And bleeding and breeding Feeding, exceeding Where is everybody? Trying and lying Defying, denying Crying and dying Where is everybody? Pleading and needing And bleeding and breeding Feeding, exceeding Where is everybody? Trying and lying Defying, denying Crying and dying Where is everybody?
