Yes, and I guess, it´s just a sign that I´m a pessimist But life is limited if time is how you measure it Nobody´s innocent Let´s quit pretending such
Just let it finish up so this message can self-destruct And I don´t know my high from low anymore I´m just trying to do my best Trying not to get carried off the floor Climb down the fire escape and throw the mask in the trash We drowning in a tidal wave from a bath tub splash And when they finally try to harvest a colony It´s probably when everybody is around an olive tree It´s likely gonna be too late to crown a hero But we can make a statement making party at Ground Zero And I can do this to ya all night long But I, no matter what, I´d still be doing ya wrong
And when I´m strong enough to break out of my eggshell I wanna hear the ladies yell like I´ve aged well
We fought ourselves we think we won We taught ourselves to reach the sun Took a chance going against the odds We don´t die, we won´t even stop, Watch If you don´t stop then you won´t get caught If you don´t stop then you won´t get caught If you don´t stop then you won´t get caught If you don´t stop then you won´t get caught
And now I Now I believe I´ve got the right of way To make a brighter day Instead of wasting life away Waiting for lights to change
You not seeing me I´m swallowed by the scenery Camouflage my injuries Channel all my energies I leave room for the lens to shift Should´ve predicted or presumed that you´d be sensitive But every story needs a conflict, an arsis I can´t find a fuck to present you with And baby it´s the same song whole world singing it Some of us just humming along some of us really bringin´ it And if it fires up a fraction of the sleeping giant May we live long enough to see the times that redefine it And I´m certain all that pain is for a purpose
Makes no difference whose the first one to write their name up on the surface Some day your work will find its way to get observed It´s just there´s too many words and nobody´s getting heard
We fought ourselves we think we won We taught ourselves to reach the sun Took a chance going against the odds We don´t die, we won´t even stop, watch If you don´t stop then you won´t get caught If you don´t stop then you won´t get caught If you don´t stop then you won´t get caught If you don´t stop then you won´t get caught If you don´t stop then you won´t get caught If you don´t stop then you won´t get caught If you don´t stop then you won´t get caught
If you don´t stop
Just take me as I am Just take me as I am (oh yeah) Just take me as I am (oh yeah) Just take me as I am (oh yeah) Just take me as I am
