song and cover does not belong to me
Original: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2OvsScIZptk
"You should just learn to treasure your life, through my songs about life."
"You should just learn to treasure your love, through my songs about family."
Saying things like that, the thing my true feelings longed for was mere sympathy
Covering in desire, and completely missing the mark of normality.... was I.
I sang because I was in pain.
I sang because I was sad.
I sand because I wanted to live,
It was naught but was a mass of my own ego
Looking back there's no way a song like that would ever save anyone
But I wanted to become your god.
Who the heck really thinks a song like this can fill your oozing, corroded scars... Even if I held you close and screamed out, nothing in reality would change.
Songs such screaming recklessly, all they really do is clear my own mind for a moment.
I think what I really wanted was a sympathy, but I did want to save you too...
I am powerless, I am powerless, I am powerless, I am powerless, I am powerless.
Falling down and down and down, all in tatters with wounds turned to scars
I just wanted to talk to someone, have a silly conversation.
"I was saved by you" or "I started to think I wanted to live after all"
..Ah I see. But it's yourself you should be thanking for changing. Good for you.
When I was a child I thought I'd grow up into a great grown up.
Or maybe I should say I wanted to become a great grown up and save myself.
Time passed and the state I achieved
was naught but a self crumbling mud,
I'm using all my strength just to live another day.
It was an everyday of singing like throwing up.
I sang time and time again, I sang so much my scabs peeled away
I, of living flesh, wanted to become your god.
Who the heck really thinks a song like this can heal your oozing, built up pains.
Songs screamed sloppily, I don't actually like them either
I think what I really wanted was sympathy, but I can't save anyone with that.
So I am powerless, I am powerless, I am powerless, I am powerless, I am powerless.
'I want to lay down proof I was alive' or 'I want to be praised by someone'
Those things aren't actually all that important to me, my life is already one fallen to ruin anyway.
I just want to sing a song that will save someone.
I want to sing a song that will protect someone.
I want to sing a song that will save you.
But it's impossible,
I know you can become happy, of your own accord, through your own means.
Who the heck really thinks a song like this can fill you oozing, corroding scars... I want to hold you close, I want to scream for you, of your scars your pain, everything.
But you know in the end you're strong. Surely you can face forward all on your own... and that's fine by me.
But maybe when there's comes a time when you start to cry, let me sing all your pain your hardships, your weaknesses, your heart --- with my powerless, incompetent, dirtied song.
I am powerless, I am powerless, I could not become your god.
I am powerless, I am powerless,
With this powerless song I want to save you but
I want to save you but...
I want to be your god.
