They never taught us how to love

So we use our pain

To comfort us

And we never practice what we preach

Instead, we find

Someone else to teach

We try not to see with our eyes

We fill our plates

With dozens of lies

We try so hard to keep it in

We turn away

From what lies within

We are splintered

And we are rotten

Deep within the walls that we've forgotten

All the answers

To all our problems

Lie within the one who tries to dodge them

Ooooh, ooooh

Ooooh, ooooh

We're so afraid to be alone

So we hoard our pain

And call it home

They never taught us how to look inside

Only how to run and how to dry our eyes

We dig ourselves into a ditch

How many of us die

And pretend to live?

We stop the life from leakin' in

When we turn away

From what lies within

We are splintered

And we are rotten

Deep within the walls that we've forgotten

All the answers

To all our problems

Lie within the one who tries to dodge them

We are splintered

And we are rotten

Deep under the floorboards we've forgotten

But all the answers

To all our problems

Lie within the one who tries to dodge them

Ooooh, ooooh

Ooooh, ooooh
