Your eyes they wanna cry for me. Don't make me wanna die for you. Your arms that wanna wrap around me. Don't make me wanna hang around you. And it's no wonder anymore.
Turned inside out for all to see. Turned inside out for all to see. Touch this, feel this. See yourself, see the monster. Feel the beast. Laugh, laugh, laugh out loud.
I'm so tired of myself. I'm tired in my sleep. I'm so tired of my lies. I'm tired of the secrets that I keep. I'm so tires of looking inside myself. Trying to find something.
Please let me see the faults my ego denies me. Don't let me grow so tall. I forget the ground beneath me. Don't let me forget. That satisfaction has no friends.
Just took off my thinking cap. It got filled up with too much crap. Sat underneath the table and waited for the scraps. Morsels from the feast that you used to bait the trap, yeah.
There's a man outside (x4). He's lookin' in (x3). There's a man outside (x4). He wants in, he wants to come in. Get on home, and lock your door (x2). There's a man outside.
Hello! say what? oh yeah? too much.. What's new? what's up? I here you're messed up, in trouble, in pain. No need to explain - expectation let you down.
I don't step on roaches. When they crawl across my floor. If I saw your body burning in the street. I'd put you out with gasoline. When the garbage piles up past my knees.
The way you look at me is tearing me apart. And the way I let you feel is tearing me apart. I think as we do it, do it to eachother, it's tearing us apart.

you got nothing. you got nothing to say. there's nothing in your head. but your mouth keeps flapping anyway. you better. stop, stop, stop, stop. look and listen.
You're so fucking weak. You disgust me. It's a drag when you bring me down. All the things you say. No one cares anyway. But then you've got to deal with me.
I stay out late. I go long. I lose sleep. I go without. I go long. I go all night, go all night. I make the colors go. I push my senses out. . I keep my existence lean.
Oh man, I can't believe the things I said to you. I must have been out of my mind. Desperation crept in. From all the things I've kept in. I'm sorry I just couldn't help myself.
If I listened to everything they said to me I wouldn't be here. If I took the time to bleed from all the tiny little arrows shot my way I wouldn't be here.
I wonder if you can see. I wonder if you can tell. I wonder if you see through the mask I wear so well. I'll never let you know what's going on inside me.
Here it is, on the news. Someone I know is now someone I knew. I can't believe it happened again. . Another mound, another one down. Hounded by a lie into the ground.
With pen in hand you signed your name today at five I'll be on that train. And you'll be free and I will be alone so alone. If you think we can't find the love we once knew.
(first performed at woodstock 94"). Years of self denial make me put it inside. And when it comes time to get real all I can do is hide. Oh, I'd like to get out from underneath these walls.
Welcome to my world won't you come on in. Miracles I guess still happen now and then. Step into my heart leave your cares behind. Welcome to my world built with you in mind.
