lyrics

I wish I had a worthy soul
one that's pure and didn't feel so goddamn impotent and old
I wish I had a brand new face
one that's clean and hasn't worn the shame and pain of this place
I would still believe in dreams
and I could smile without the feeling there's a hundred-million strings
a hundred-million strings

and I believe that if you never knew my name
there'd be a lot of things that wouldn't be the same
I can't help it, I'm like bleeding on the brain
I've done a lot of messed up shit and you've been scarred
and you'll never be the same
you'll never be the same

I'd leave the pills and I'd just walk
cuz they're like atom bombs that blow my sense of time right off the clock
I'd cross my heart to feel alive
and pull my body from the wreckage of another seedy dive
this place is such a goddamn dirty dive

and I believe that if you never knew my name
there'd be a lot of things that wouldn't be the same
I can't help it, I'm like bleeding on the brain
I've done a lot of messed up shit and you've been scarred
and you'll never be the same
you'll never be the same

and I believe that if you never knew my name
there'd be a lot of things that wouldn't be the same
I can't help it, I'm like bleeding on the brain
I've seen a lot of messed up shit and I've been scarred

and I swear that if you never fucking ever heard my name
there'd be a lot of things that wouldn't be the same
I'm like a frying pan with scrambled eggs for brains
I've seen a lot of messed up shit and I've been scarred
and I'll never be the same
I'll never be the same
