Take another look around

These silly thoughts of mine

Try to scrape a little feeling

Take another piece

A fragment of my sanity

Try to stop my dirty dealing



CHORUS

I was not the one to lie

I was never one to lose my way

But I surrender all my time

To constructing little rhymes

And absolving the sublime

But you can't ask me for the world

'Cause I won't give it to you



Write another letter

About the emptiness I feel

I won't/will be obliged to read it

Find another reason

To tear apart the life inside

I'll pretend I really need it



CHORUS



Show me all your secrets

Place them here before me

Pull me out of me

So I can see

Just how boring life can be

Just how ugly I can be

Just how much I'll never see

And I wonder who am I

Who am I, who am I



In another lifetime

I could have been a stronger man

Could have told a million stories

On another planet

I know I would deserve it all

The pain, the pleasure, the glory



CHORUS
