I Don’t Want Lyrics by David Near

Dead End

2018

V1: Something moving underneath dead skin
Coursing through me, an enemy within
It tells me things that it wants me to give
I don't know why it won't let me live
The veins explode as they're filled with hate
(When I see your face, I just feel the rage)
And the hatred rises out of the core
(When I see your face, I just can't ignore, but)
Chorus: I don't wanna be the thing I know I'm turning into
You don't wanna see what I am turning into
I don't wanna be what I am turning into
You don't wanna see the shit that I am into
No! Just stay down! Just stay
V2: Something crawling out of the ashes
Underneath a wave that crashes
It whispers 'murder' in my ear
I have to act or my head's not clear
The wound exposed releases your blood
(When I see your pain, I cannot contain)
And the blood is flowing out of your veins
(When I hear you scream, it removes my pain, but)
Chorus: I don't wanna be the thing I know I'm turning into
You don't wanna see what I am turning into
I don't wanna be what I am turning into
You don't wanna see the shit that I am into
No! Just stay down! Just stay
Just stay down...just stay down
Bridge: Enemy! Never be! Anything! Dead to me!
Enemy! You will see! What you mean! Dead to me!
You're dead to me...(laughter)
Chorus: I don't wanna be the thing I know I'm turning into
You don't wanna see what I am turning into
I don't wanna be what I am turning into
You don't wanna see the shit that I am into
No! Just stay down! Just stay
Just stay down! Just stay down!
Just stay down! Just stay down!
