I see the end of every book I've ever read. I see the price of everything I've ever said. I feel the break in every rule I've ever bent. And I hear the sound of all the voices in my head.
Life's a gamble and then you die. No explanation or reasons why. You hit the big stage up in the sky. We'll see who burns and we'll see who flies. . Why am I here?.
Yeah, we comin' now. Come on. Yeah, that's right. Yo, we puttin' it down. . It's like a family in here, we're just a little disabled. Puttin' it down, we lay 'em out on a table.
Turn the light on. I want to see you the way I used to. Before the moment's gone. . I used to know you but now we're strangers. Lost in all this anger.
Take my bottle away and my heart is in your hands. Take my pills away or you'll never understand. Been so close to the edge, I know that I can't walk away.
All this time I believed your lie. Raised your flag deep within your sight. I raise my flag to all you hide and drive. Your spike within me within you, within me.
I've been the puppet master and I've been the strings. I've been the up and coming next, big thing. I've been the photograph and I've been the lens. I've been the saint and baby, I've been the sin.
It's been a long time since you were here. And I cannot erase what seems so clear. And I cannot hide from you no more. I've closed another door. . And I'm not gonna hide from you this time.
1, 2, 3, 4!. . I'm a hand in Mona Lisa's dress. I'm a smile on every criminal you'll ever acquit. I'm the things you've done you'd never admit. 'Cause one hand is on the bible and the other's in shit.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. . Been floatin' around up here on cloud eleven. I did my best to make it to twenty-seven. Open up my eyes and I can see the glory.
Now has come the day that I take the lead and I make you follow. Toast of champagne 'cause I came for greed and not for tomorrow. If it feels good then it feels good and I do it all day.
Talk about the way you run your race. Talk about the way you spit in my face. Talk about the reasons why. And the reasons you can't take that junt from my face.
Life is like a melody. Sang deep within my soul. Sang deep within to me. And all these chains that shackle me. They won't let me take control. They wanna take control of me.
Someday soon, I'm gonna pull myself together. Win or lose, I'm starting over again. . Start this day like any other day. I fold my hands as I begin to pray.
You know I put it in drive. 'Cause it makes me feel alive. The situation's awry. And goin' faster. . And now I'm hunting you down. And getting fear from the sound.
You've been hiding in the dark of your heart for way too long. You've been waiting for a light, for a sign to come along. You've been running after stars but don't forget who you are.
Come on and hit me with the real thing. You knock me up and then back down again. Come on and hit me with the real think. You knock me up and then back out again.
They got long legs, big lips, a baby face and orange knee high hips. They got a mean streak ten feet wide. Halo above 'em and the devil inside. They can milk your cow, they can climb your tree.
Once I was a boy who lost his way. Now I'm just a man who makes mistakes. I'm pushing forward in reverse, it gets better then it gets worse. I'm tied for last place when you taught me to be first.
Rest my head keep me easy in your shed. Keep me up and keep me whole and keep me sane. Rest my bones keep me easy in your throne. Keep me up and keep me closer to the flame.
