lyrics

Your friends think I'm simple, but I don't give a damn what they say.
I'm usually something rather clever, but broken glass has filled my throat.
And I have a terrible habit of using so many words to say very little...
And I have a terrible problem with jumping in to water when I can't see the bottom.

You were white girl wasted, I was green day jaded. I can't help but hate it, cause I know its not real.
Little boys lie about a lot of things they cry about, and I can't help but hate it, I know it's not real.
I want to say what I mean, what I feel. But I don't.

If it means a lot to you, I wouldnt even need the truth. I'm not asking for sincereity, something closer to some clarity.
Keeping time with my peers never came on time to me, something I just couldn't believe. 40 miles from my promised land. Don't you mistake me for more than a man.

When I said I don't believe in monsters, what I meant is I don't want to believe that I was one. For so long...
Today I'll wake up and I won't go back to sleep. You and I meet up to burn down my whole street. Later on, as the sun goes down, the only time I hear that lovely sound.
