Sometimes I don’t know what to talk about
I wish that I had felt the hurt they write the songs about
Am I just in disguise or
Have I been naked this whole time?
I’ve told a lie I’ve told a tale or two
I’ve practiced all the lines I’ll iterate in interviews
And when it comes to me
There goes my legitimacy
I need a different kind of needle now
My pumping drug is just a wave of sound
I wish that I could fall as hard for this
As I did back in 1996
I’m everybody else in spite of me
I’m just afraid I’ll never be the man I want to be
And if I had my choice
I’d sing with someone else’s voice
I’m looking out when I should peer within
Without a doubt I need to pierce the skin
I need to feel the blood come rushing in
I need to open up this wound again
Am I broken, am I bruised?
Am I emotionally abused?
Lately veins have been so dry
I need a hit to get me high
I got the bends and I think I want to die
But love might change my mind
;
I need a different kind of needle now
My pumping drug is just a wave of sound
Don’t want to catch myself from falling down
Don’t want to feel my feet upon the ground
Am I broken, am I bruised?
Am I emotionally abused?
Am I emotional? Am I emotional?
Am I emotionally abused?
