• Walking around I hear the Earth seeking relief
  I'm trying to find a reason to live
  But the mindless clutter my path
  Oh these thorns in my side
  Oh these thorns in my side
  I know I have something free
  I have something so alive
  I think they shoot 'cause they want it
  I think they shoot 'cause they want it
  I think they shoot 'cause they want it
  
  I feel forces all around me
  Come on raise your head
  Those who hide behind the shadows
  Live with all that's dead
  
  Look at me, look at me,
  Look at me (At least look at me when you shoot a bullet)
  (Through my head, through my head, through my head)
  
  In my lifetime when I'm disgraced
  Jealousy and lies
  I laugh aloud 'cause my life
  Has gotten inside someone elses mind
  
  Look at me, look at me,
  Look at me (At least look at me when you shoot a bullet)
  (Through my head, through my head, through my head)
  
  Hey all I want is what's real
  Something I touch and can feel
  I'll hold it close and never let it go
  Said why, why do we live life
  With all this hate inside
  I'll give it away 'cause I don't want it no more
  Please help me find a place
  Somewhere far away
  Yes, I'll go and you'll never see me again
  
  Look at me,
  Look at me (At least look at me when you shoot a bullet)
  (Through my head, through my head, through my head)
  Look at me,
  Look at me (At least look at me when you shoot a bullet)
  (Through my head, through my head, through my head)
  
  Look at me
  Look at me Writer/s: MARK TREMONTI, SCOTT STAPP

• Zero from Nowhere, NjNevertheless, It was an awesome video...
• Austin from Smallsville,new England, --Creed spent losts of money on the music video and it turned out to be a major flop with not a lot of airplay in the U.S. Around this time many critics were critising Creed and compared them unfavorably to Pearl Jam.
• Trenton from Flatwoods, Kythis song is really awesome! except for the beginning, i think all those weird sounds are pointless.
• Chauncey from Omha, Newho cares about Durst?
  
  he BLOWS as a singer/rapper
  
  anyway, Creed totally nailed this song and its great!!!!
• Joseph from Toastville, OhYeah this song rocks, Dont believe it was about Durst though, just people who bashed him in general.
• Jeremy from Chicago, IlThis Song Is Asome, I often put songs on, that display how I feel, and this is one, I would put on if someone, was talking sh.. behind my back
• Rony from Houston, TxThis song? Fred Durst? THPTPTFT!!! I spit in your general direction!
• John from Sydney, AustraliaBrad, you told us that it's not about Durst, but that's not all that helpful unless you tell us what it's really about.
• Brad from Gansevoort, Nyok who runs this site? ..... i am the ultimate creed fan tell me any song i can tell u the album it's on ,how long it is and everything even the date it came out and i own every almbum 2 times (1 is for backup) but he did not write this song about durst i can tell u that!...
• Dude from Tx, TxThe guitar work in this song isn't hard, but its fast fingerwork gives the impression of a maniac about to shoot someone.
