on the individual

what do you want me to do?

you give me no reason to

i’ve nowhere to go, nothing to say

give me one reason to go on from here

and i’ll prove you wrong

because it falls on the individual



days have all but faded away

leaving me here in this

i’m doing this all to myself

it’s all my fault, after all

all the pain from others

i’ve brought to myself

torn and bound

slung so low i’m bound to drop

gashed my eyes

so i don’t have to watch

i cannot hurt anyone but myself

it falls on the individual



i’m alone and useless

inside this shell

taken away from everything

maybe things could be better

if you weren’t here

and not me, not me

there’s no reason

to put me through all of this

there’s no reason

to bring me into this hell

but i’ve done this to myself

all to myself



there’s no reason for any of this

yet i keep going

don’t care what you say

i still keep on coming

and it falls on me

it falls on the individual
