Should I hate his fucking guts because he made me this insane

Couldn't make just one decision even if I knew it'd save our lives

Searched the aisles for a better way to get myself up out of this place

And I guess that I might look

But I'll find nothing, nothing, nothing, nothing
Expressing a sense of futility in searching for answers.
