I'm not knocking your want
To carry that home
Took it with you
When you moved and got it broke
Found the pieces
We counted them all alone
Didn't add up
Forgot to carry a zero
I can't be your
Apologist very long
I'm surprised that
You'd want to carry that on
Count your blemishes
You can't
They're all gone
I can't see your response
Putting them back on
Like they're waiting for your guard to fall
So they can see it all and you're so
Occupied with what other persons are
Occupied with
And vice versa
And you've become
What you thought was done
A fraction of the sum
Yeah, you've become
Yeah, you have become
A fraction of the sum
The middle and the front
And now it's coming back
Hasn't it come too far?
I was trying to help but I guess
I pushed too hard
Now we can't even touch it
Afraid it'll fall apart
To carry that home
Took it with you
When you moved and got it broke
Found the pieces
We counted them all alone
Didn't add up
Forgot to carry a zero
I can't be your
Apologist very long
I'm surprised that
You'd want to carry that on
Count your blemishes
You can't
They're all gone
I can't see your response
Putting them back on
Like they're waiting for your guard to fall
So they can see it all and you're so
Occupied with what other persons are
Occupied with
And vice versa
And you've become
What you thought was done
A fraction of the sum
Yeah, you've become
Yeah, you have become
A fraction of the sum
The middle and the front
And now it's coming back
Hasn't it come too far?

I pushed too hard
Now we can't even touch it
Afraid it'll fall apart

"i'm so sick of people interpreting this song wrong. Yes you can interpret it any way you want, but just know, this IS NOT ABOUT A FUCKING RELATIONSHIP!!!!
it's about anxiety, denial, insecurity, self consciousness, change, awareness, growing up, inner conflict, despair, hope, altruism, etc. etc.
anyone who thinks this song is happy needs their head examined. about the only thing that makes me feel better is that someone else might be going through the same things, or something similar
at the very end i feel like the song is making fun of me , the guitar riffs are so powerful, like my inner demons are mocking me or something.. listen to the last riffs, and then think of the words ha ha ha... ha ha ha. .. ha ha ha ha.. ha ha ha..
i think the people that think of every single fing song as being about a relationship just don't think oustide the box, or have never had an inner conflict."
yes, a relationship!
