Music Monday -- Relient K "Who I am Hates Who I've Been"

I have a huge love for Relient K.  Their music is peppy. catchy, and radio friendly, but underneath they have such interesting songs.  The lyrics contain such pain, despair, joy, love, and so much more.  They pack the songs with a universe full of emotion.  I have so many favorites that I can't just pick one song.  However, this song has been stuck in my head lately.  Specifically the 2nd chorus (below) and prechorus.  The words speak to me.  The words don't exactly describe me and my life, but they give connect to the essence of my life.  It's a sad song, but one that ends in hope. (I've been picking a lot of said music lately, but that's only because it's so beautiful) I talk to absolutely no one. Couldn't keep to myself enough. And the things bottled inside have finally begun To create so much pressure that I'll soon blow up.

I heard the reverberating footsteps Synching up to the beating of my heart, And I was positive that unless I got myself together, I would watch me fall apart.

And I can't let that happen again 'cause then you'll see my heart In the saddest state it's ever been.

This is no place to try and live my life.
