Would Not Matter To Me

One more day in this place and my brain will shatter to pieces from looping again and again
Will something pull me to shore?
Cause I don't think I can tread anymore
And I know it'll have to be me
To tow my line in
But we cannot love, with all of our hearts
Our parents they broke us, they passed on their pain from the start
And I guess I can't really be mad
our parents and their parents really were sad
Oh and on and on it'll go
The past keeps killing our futures ya know
Stunted and hunted in circles we run
Repeating mistakes, never learning the value of love
Bob tells me that nothing "should be"
Quit being an idealist oh he pleads
You know I really try to survive
I keep on moving but I'm tired at times
Oh I don't care if the world explodes
We're petty and hateful and nobody grows
We just stay,
walking backwards repeating mistakes, hurting others and living in pain
Drop the bomb on us all oh I plead
cause it would not matter to me
It would not matter to me
No it would not matter to me
One more day in this place and my brain will shatter to pieces from looping again and again
I need someone to counter the pain
cause I haven't been touched, it's insane
In many long years, but oh I'm to blame
And it really matters to me
Oh it really matters to me
Yeah it really matters to me
I'm growing quite weary, depleted and drained
I'm starting to care less and
The only reprieve from the pain
Is falling in bed where I'll dream
Of a better me, one where I am free
And the bitter jealous boy that's in me
Gets to blossom into a big tree
Where I'll finally get to feel free
From the pain that I carry in me
Cause it really matters to me
Oh it really matters to me
Yeah it really matters to me
And it really matters to me
