Array ( [sid] => 53696 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => the loophole in the system [time] => 2004-06-25 17:34:40 [hometext] => this was written a while ago, dont know why i wrote it just felt like i should get out of myself for a while. it was about a heated discusion i had with my friend about me being paranoid. for the reference im not [bodytext] => I wanna leave this place
I don’t want no good-byes
Why do I care about the place I am going
Cos its also filled with lies

The place I am leaving
Has no decisions I can make
And the place I am making
Has the same mistakes
You can only trust yourself
But yourself isn’t good enough

When you need people who care
You only have yourself
When you want to be alone
You have the whole ***** up world

If you hadn’t been there
What could of happened
Would it make any difference
If you are not here
The world is screwed up
And so is the government
You cant help this
But you can help yourself
And no-one else can

People can try
When the world seems great
But when the world isn’t
You don’t have to be a genius
To work out you’re the only sane one left
If your only sane
Why do people look at you in that way
Am I paranoid
Or is it a phase
If the world looked away
It would be easier
To face the facts
The world isn’t interested in you

People run rings around you
You don’t understand why
Please can you tell me
Mr. Corporate man
Why the money is all false
And why are these tears
Sounds and the thoughts
Of a million years
Are trapped in the mind
Of a paranoid child
Why must you entrust
Such a gift to a child
Is it a gift
Cos gifts are real
The pains of a generation
Are left to hinder the next
