The Silver Bayonets - Schemes (Unplugged) Lyrics

I wish I could set myself free
But I take comfort in routine
I wish I had the fortitude
To make it happen or make it gone
I wish I had the wisdom to know what's real
And the strength to carry on

I waste so much time
Trying to make sense of everything I see
Those who hate me most
Are just the people living in my head
Are they the ones that I should trust
They're the ones that seem to make most sense

I cut myself so I can bleed
The guilt, the rage and everything between
In the end I have to admit
When all is said and done
I never had the courage to let things go
Or the strength to be alone

I waste so much time
Trying to make sense of everything I see
Those who think I'm mad
Are just the people living in my head
Are they the ones that I should trust?
Are they the ones I should listen to instead?

I spent my life
Feeding myself into the machine
Please don't make the same mistakes
You'll have nothing to show
For your best laid schemes

I waste so much time
Trying to make sense of everything I see
Those who scare me most
Are just the people living in my head
I should have known they should never be trusted
Take my advice don't ever listen to them
