"Turn Against Me"

I laughed aloud at the sound
Of my own voice coming out
You see the comedy is that it wasn't me
Or at least that's what I want to believe

Words that seem absurd
To think they'd come out of my mouth
Who's the ventriloquist, making me talk like this
With the world upside down

[chorus]
It's like an outside looking in
Like a bird's eye view looking out of body
Seeing someone from a third person
And realizing I'm the somebody
Not a body snatcher
But still a stolen identity
Who do I become
When I turn against me?

Take my place, but still my shape
Showing on the outside
But just a hollow shell of former self
I'm not the only one who can tell

So what sucked me dry of my own life
Be it leech or parasite
I know whatever caused it
I'm the one who allowed the problem

[chorus]
It's like an outside looking in
Like a bird's eye view looking out of body
Seeing someone from a third person
And realizing I'm the somebody
Not a body snatcher
But still a stolen identity
Who do I become
When I turn against me?

I am, split down the middle
And I fall to either side
My heart, it aches like a riddle
As I'm turning with the tides
And I know that I'm hurting
But I can't stop questioning why

[chorus]
I'm on the outside looking in
Like a bird's eye view looking out of body
Trying to find myself
Like a search for a missing body
Yeah, what can cure the dead in me
Yeah, what can cure the dead in me
What can cure the dead in me
When I turn against me
