I'll be the man you want me to be However sure that I'll become something You're nothing but a case of sellable lies on repeat So will you be kind enough to sign my reprieve? How will you fare against the stress of life? This nest has cradled me for quite some time Oh, I'm walking the black road If this is a dream Then when will I wake up? Nobody's on my side No, this ain't for me So when will I wake up? I'll let myself out of this cage I'm in Cry me a stream, boy. You never win No, you never How will you fare against the stress of life? This nest has cradled me for quite some time Another way could be the path I ride Am I awake or am I blind? Oh, I'm walking the black road If this is a dream Then when will I wake up? Nobody's on my side No, this ain't for me So when will I wake up? So when will I wake up? How will you fare against the stress of life? Oh, I'm walking the black road If this is a dream Then when will I wake up? Nobody's on my side No, this ain't for me So when will I wake up?
