when i'm not wearing glasses
it's all about the hair
when i'm not wearing hair
it's probably i don't care
but i pray i never lose it
i pray i never lose control
holding everything but my soul
so close, closer than skin
i am a castle and nobody gets in
one day your gonna find me in crumbs

when i am wearing glasses
i probably have no lenses
and even if my vision's perfect
what about the other senses
i think i've lost them all
and to think i thought that i was tall
if you see me looking down
remind me that i'm on the ground
and here i will remain
unless i become nurse for your pain
i don't ever want to leave

i never want to leave you
but i think i'm almost gone
we can only go so far
before we're going it alone
i've kept myself a stranger
but now i want to call you home

i've tied myself down
because i've been afraid to go
these knots are binding me
and i never learned to sew
i know that i can't stay forever
but while i'm here can we walk together
i don't wanna walk alone
mastering the universe
is not as easy as it looks
evetyone who's his own man
is nothing but a crook
please forgive me
for stealing your love just to sell
a life lived like this
is the beginning of hell
