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
