Lyrics

Sometimes there’s no direction, sometimes it’s just confusion
Tryin’ to make sense out of nothing
I try to find some peace, try to piece together
A little piece of something, of anything

Well there’s many parts of me
But the biggest is the part that tears apart the whole of me
When I really need to pull myself together

Even though I know I’m just a man, I know I’m only human
I still ignore that calming inner voice
I throw out what I need, don’t believe all that stuff I read
And just give in to all the shouting and the noise

Well there’s many parts of me
But the biggest is the part that tears apart the whole of me
When I really need to pull myself together

Well there’s many parts of me
But the biggest is the part that tears apart the whole of me
When I really need to pull myself together
