you can t get there from here

The Offspring

Well, I m here in your ear
to destroy all that once was so pure
All your hopes and your dreams
fall apart at the seams, I ll make sure
Cause it may seem very near
But you can t get there from here

Oh, come see about me
I m the truth and you know it
Come see about me
I m your darkest fears
You re listening to me
cause you can t get rid of
That feeling when I say
You can t get there from here

I won t let you forget the things if you had only
I m th? voices in your head like th? pouring rain
I ll take it all, but you built this palace of hate

Well, to keep you from shining
your linings of silver, I ll maim
I ll give you this sendup
you ll end up down here just the same
And your sun will not rise
A thousand tears in your eyes

Oh, come see about me
I m the truth and you know it
Come see about me
I m your darkest fears
You re listening to me
cause you can t get rid of
That feeling when I say
You can t get there from here

I won t let you forget the things if you had only
I m the voices in your head like the pouring rain
I ll take it all, but you built this palace of hate

I ve watched as you ve tried to get by
Write your name on the wall
But you will rot in your cage
as you rage from a run to a crawl
Cause it may seem very near
But you can t get there from here

Oh, come see about me
I m the truth and you know it
Come see about me
I m your darkest fears
You re listening to me
cause you can t get rid of
That feeling when I say
You can t get there from here

I won t let you forget the things if you had only
I m the voices in your head like the pouring rain
I ll take it all, but you built this palace
I ll take it all, but you built this palace of pain
You built your palace of pain
You built your palace of pain
