"You Can't Get There From Here" lyrics - 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

[Chorus:]
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

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

[Chorus:]
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

[Chorus:]
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
