There's this place that I should not go
And there's this drawing on my fridge that I should not show
I know
And there's this person that I want to be
And then there's this other person that you don't want to see
I know
And these arrangements that I used to make
I used take em and then shake em til they were not afraid
I know
And it all scares the shit out of me
When there's this phony in the mirror and he's fucking with me
I know
Don't do it, don't let me in
He's not me and I'm not your friend
You shouldn't lie if it makes you strange
You shouldn't talk if you don't mean what you say
The way it is today
Is just the same, but not the same as yesterday
And I'll stick around
And I won't hate all the natural sounds
I should have dropped out in 2002
I should have wandered the country and just saw it all through
I know
I should have left it all behind
I should have buried the past until my thoughts went blind
I know
But there's this path that I'm stuck on right now
If I don't follow it through I'll work it nohow
I know
And it all scares the shit out of me
When there's this phony in the mirror and he's fucking with me
I know
Don't do it, don't let me in
He's not me and I'm not your friend
You shouldn't lie if it makes you strange
You shouldn't talk if you don't mean what you say
The way it is today
Is just the same, but not the same as yesterday
And I'll stick around
And I won't hate all the natural sounds
