[Verse 1: Jamie Madrox]
You know that you can't buy your way into heaven
All those things that you say with no feelings are you pretending to be
When you try to be like them
Becoming less of you somehow and all the while in need of so many friends

[Pre-Chorus: Monoxide]
But it just doesn't seem right, it doesn't feel good inside
Some how you just wanna pause, are people livin' to die
But it's just all an illusion and it's as real as can be
I'm in a state of confusion, the change is still happening

[Chorus: Jamie Madrox, Monoxide]
How can I change my life when all I have is pain
(Inside of me for all to see)
I'm gonna break my mind and try and smile again
(Outside of me for all to see)

[Instrumental Break]

[Instrumental Hook]

[Verse 2: Jamie Madrox]
The feelings that you feel keep you from being yourself
You've become so wrapped up in your dirty world of power and wealth
You think you can have it all, if you want it bad enough and that's probably true
That's why there's so much hatred bottled up alive in you
[Pre-Chorus: Monoxide]
But it just doesn't seem right, it doesn't feel good inside
Some how you just wanna pause, are people livin' to die
But it's just all an illusion and it's as real as can be
I'm in a state of confusion, the change is still happening

[Chorus: Jamie Madrox, Monoxide]
How can I change my life when all I have is pain
(Inside of me for all to see)
I'm gonna break my mind and try and smile again
(Outside of me for all to see)
How can I change my life when all I have is pain
(Inside of me for all to see)
I'm gonna break my mind and try and smile again
(Outside of me for all to see)

[Chorus: Jamie Madrox, Monoxide]
How can I change my life when all I have is pain
(Inside of me for all to see)
I'm gonna break my mind and try and smile again
(Outside of me for all to see)
How can I change my life when all I have is pain
(Inside of me for all to see)
I'm gonna break my mind and try and smile again
(Outside of me for all to see)
