Beware false prophets - take a stand!
|
My fortune cookie cracked up in my hand,
|
More advice to fill up your head
|
More empty words from the living dead-
|
Who seek to explain what can't really be said-
|
And how disappointed I was
|
To turn out after all -
|
Just a porcelain God -
|
that shatters when it falls-
|
Too much will kill you - too little ain't enough
|
You shout my name but I'll call your bluff
|
Most who see me - see me not for real
|
We fake & fawn - play games 'til dawn
|
But I could see what you can see
|
And I hate too what you hate in me -
|
And how disappointed I am
|
To find me part of no plan -
|
Just a porcelain God -
|
that shatters when it falls
|
|
I shake it off and start again
|
"Don't lose control" - I tell myself,
|
Life can take many things away -
|
Some people will try - and take it all
|
They'll pick off pieces as they watch you crawl
|
And how disappointed I was
|
To turn out after all -
|
Just a porcelain God -
|
that shatters when it falls-
|
That shatters when it falls.
