Once there was a nothing   The voices rang so true   The knowledge that was lacking   Cut innocence in two      Everything seemed too good to be right   When I was 16, I was too uptight   Now disappointment's shadow   Reveals a colder time      A harder kind of living   In disillusion, how can it go?   The fear of the night   Now I am grown, I'm just too uptight      A slow and noble breakdown of personality   Careless, heartless, soulless, no dignity   My days are flown and I can't recall   Feeling so alone was I so uptight      Death creeps ever closer a darkness falls in me   A scared fragmented loner unholy   A night with no end an echoing sea   I'll think about me how I'm too uptight
