lyrics

I am a man of many faces
But I only display the cowardly one
I acknowledge the pain and the sorrow
But I’m too busy having my fun to help anyone

As for my beliefs well don’t ask me
Just talk to my friends and enemies
Their words are the closest I’ll ever come
To the convictions I can’t hold because I’m too numb


C part
I’m always embarrassed and feeling disgraced
I feel uncomfortable in every place
I don’t want to sound ignorant so I’ve got nothing to say
But I keep on trying, I guess that makes me insane

I can’t think and I can’t breathe
I can’t stay and I can’t leave
I can’t sleep and I can’t dream
I can’t believe that I’m so weak


I’m always figiting, my nerves are shot
Living life at the bottom of the coffee pot
I’ve got my comforts, sugar and cream
None of this is real, I must be living the dream

Another bandage is not what I need
In order to heal, I’ve got to bleed
All the songs I hear and all the books I read
Are all telling me I’ve got to flee

C part
So I run like hell but I can’t tell
If I’m chasing a dream or I’m being chased
Do I have a destination
Or am I running away

But if I stop my heart will burst into flames
My bones will break and my voice will shake
My whole body will disintegrate
I’ll hide my shame by crawling into the grave


I’ve been doing the best with what I’ve been given
But what should I do with everything I take?
I’ve bent all these rules but they’re bound to break
And so am I, I need a break

Everything I do is half hearted
every feeling I have gets disregarded
This will end just where it started
With nothing
