Never get angry at the stupid people Though I go crazy at the dullness of my life Sit and I stare into a dusty window An empty face stares back at me and cries My vulnerability rushes up to me 'Til I'm left here, the rebel without a cause And the deeper I delve into The consciousness of me with you The harder it gets I need to close my eyes What hurts me most And I'll never see your eyes again Though I get weary doesn't mean that I'm unwilling My body belies me, I'm a fertile mind And as I grow older the world forgets me And talks to me as if I'm some kind of child Their insensitivity washes over me 'Til I'm left here, the rebel without a cause And the deeper I delve into The consciousness of me and you The harder it gets I need to close my eyes What hurts me most I'll never see your eyes again The harder it gets I need to close my eyes I can't recollect I'll never see your eyes again I try to forget I'll never see your eyes again What hurts me most I'll never see your eyes again
