It doesn't matter where you came
and how you did
But it matters what was inside of you the whole time.
Although you see,
I don't remember what it was like to be someone else,
because I was never myself,
never in the right state of my mind.

I'm sunken behind this hair,
this hair would be quite fair to the eye.
But to me,
I'm just like anyone else
I've ever passed by.

It's so easy to cry when you're high
but so hard to laugh when you're low.
But **** my problems, right?
If you're upset, then you oughta expect
a wave from me,
a friendly Hello.
Discussing the secrets of life
over a dozen cigarettes.

And I'll tell you this...
no other way, no how
Shining you're brightest
is what life is about!
But like the man of sin always said...
When you're alive you create a shadow,
but when you're not, you're just buried in it.
