I'm cold, I'm ugly
I'm always confused by everything
I can stare into a thousand eyes
But every smile hides a bold-faced lie
It itches, it seethes, it festers and breathes
My heroes are dead, they died in my head
Thin out the herd, squeeze out the pain
Something inside me has opened up again
Thoughts of me exemplified
All the little flaws I have denied
Forget today, forget whatever happened
Everyday I see a little more of overall deficiencies
I'm nothing short of being one complete catastrophe
What the hell did I do to deserve all of this?
What the hell did I do to deserve all of this?
I save all the bullets from ignorant minds
Your insults get stuck in my teeth as they grind
Way past good taste, on our way to bad omens
I decrease, while my symptoms increase
God what the fuck is wrong?
You act like you knew it all along
Your timing sucks, your silence is a blessing
All I ever wanted out of you was
Something you could never be
Now take a real good look at
What you've fucking done to me
What the hell did I do to deserve all of this?
What the hell did I do to deserve all of this?
(I haven't got time for living)
(I haven't got time for living)
Gimme any reason why I'd need you (boy)
Gimme any reason why I'd need you
Gimme any reason why I'd need you (boy)
Gimme any reason not to fuck you up
Gimme any reason why I'd need you (bitch)
Gimme any reason why I'd need you
Gimme any reason why I'd need you (bitch)
Gimme any reason not to fuck you up
I see you in me, I see you in me
I see you in me, I see you in me
I see you in me, I see you in me
I see you in me, I see you in me
I keep my scars from prying eyes
Incapable of ever knowing why
Somebody breathe, I've got to have an answer
Why am I so fascinated by
Bigger pictures, better things?
But I don't care what you think
You'll never understand me
What the hell did I do to deserve all of this?
What the hell did I do to deserve all of this?
What the hell did I do to deserve all of this?
What the hell did I do to deserve all of this?
Fuck (dilute, dilute)

The meaning of this song is how the person's parents have affected him in such a way that he has grown social problems. "My heroes are dead, they died in my head". Most children usually see their parents as "heroes" so that's how the parents come into the song as well as: "Gimme a reason why i need you, boy" (dad) "Gimme a reason why i need you, bitch" (mum)
And the when Corey says "I see you in me" this shows how the person is blood related to the people who have made him "this way"
Extremely. Fricken. Agreed.<br /> <br />
@aidoz good pick up. Good also offer an explanation for the "What the hell did I do to deserve all this?" ... that is they were born to their situation (had no choice), so asking what could I have possibly done to be stuck in such a situation.
