lyrics

it’s rainin',
and i’m drivin',
lost in the town that i grew up in,

‘cuz it’s changin',
and i've been changin' too,
it seems so different but nothin's really new,

i'm wanderin',
the streets know my tunes,
they listen to my sweet sick sad blues,

i bolt them,
and tie them down to you,
but you don't feel, they can not hold you,

so I say,
what's happened to you,
have you been walkin' in those new shoes,

then you say,
every day's new,
i've been learnin’ to see truth,

my heart says,
i sing these songs for you,
but it's for myself, i just use you,

(as) a scape goat,
a convenient way to lose,
my sense of self, and then i'll find you,

a martyr,
a symbol of defeat,
the things you say, will not faze me,

try harder,
you live with this disease,
the more you push, the more it seems weak.
