Twist and turn
Lessons I've learned are burned
Into this fragile skin
And here I stand
One by one
Visible, done and done
Look deep into myself
Unable to see someone else
Run and fall
From reflections, build walls
Trying so hard to stall
But I always catch up with me
Twist and turn
All of these scars I've earned
All the stories still burn
And they are me and I am them

Twist and turn
Lessons I've learned are burned
Into this fragile skin
And here I stand
One by one
Visible, done and done
Look deep into myself
Unable to see someone else
Run and fall
From reflections, build walls
Trying so hard to stall
But I always catch up with me
Twist and turn
All of these scars I've earned
All the stories still burn
And they are me and I am them
"Everybody is somebody
But nobody wants to be themselves
And if I ever wanted to understand me
I'd have to talk to someone else..." -Gnarls Barkley
