another awkward moment passes 
catering to questions asked by you 
i do believe i've told you what you want to hear 
it's so easy to recite 
the lines and lies i've memorized 
from this pedestal pushed through the sky 
i'm laughing in your face 

i hate who i am 
and all that i've become 

so many sleepless nights have found me 
wandering comfortless streets 
in search of peace, any release 
from who i'm have become 
and i'm sure you don't want to know 
that i hate the role 
i'm old and cold 
an ugly sore a gaping hole 
God have mercy on my soul 

well, i guess i've disappointed you 
what did you expect? 
the hero is a wretch 
a devil in the flesh 
are you disenchanted by the idols humanness? 
do you still think we connect? 
maybe more than you'll admit
