Desperation Lyrics

In my desperation I'll take anthing from you
'Cause what I am is what I need
And there is nothing I can do
I'm a slave to your frustration
And I'm working for this pain
But in the end I'm nothing
And it doesn't mean a g****** thing
I don't want to live like this
I don't want to be like you
I don't need what I don't miss
This is what I've got to do
Well I don't want to be here but I just don't have a choice
And I'd like to say a prayer but I cannot find my voice
Well I feel I've lived a lifetime and I guess it's just as well
'Cause the life that I've been given is like living in an empty shell

I don't want to live like this
I don't want to be like you
I don't need what I don't miss
This is what I've got to do

I'm just in denial of the things that I cannot do
But everything that I can't have is all because of you
I don't need a guilty conscience I don't need to be a star
All I need is some redemption
But that just won't get me very far
