Sometimes it's hard to stay sane
|
dogtags like shackles on my brain
|
We've got a language of our own
|
you learn to talk bad
|
when you're far from home.
|
|
Dusty books on my shelf
|
it's kind of like running from yourself
|
Five years between the two extremes
|
I lived my life in books,
|
or so it seems.
|
|
And all I could see was an older me
|
I had to reach down inside
|
before life took me for a ride
|
|
I lie awake at night,
|
I don't know wrong from right
|
and no one realy knows who you are
|
but they're all telling you
|
that you're gonna go far
|
|
And all I could hear
|
was a ringing in my ear
|
boxes of words
|
locked in my room
|
but I never wrote the tune.
