I've never been this disposable,
I've never been this throwaway, (fucking throwaway)
I've never been this obsolete,
Surpassed by things that I don't need,
But the adverts always say,
I'll shed my skin,
Just to make you think,
I'm not quite as bad,
As I've always been.
I'll shed my skin,
Just to make you think,
I'm not quite as fake,
As I really am.
Give me a TV smile for a brand new life,
It's never let them down,
So where the hell is mine?
And it's not alright,
To turn a blind eye,
If it's famous or die,
How much will you buy?
I'll shed my skin,
Just to make you think,
I'm not quite as bad,
As I've always been.
I'll shed my skin,
Just to make you think,
I'm not quite as fake,
As I really am.
Don't believe it,
Don't believe it,
Don't believe it,
I'll shed my skin,
Wear the best thing,
Wear the best thing,
I can.
Just to make you think,
That I'm not half the man,
That I've always been,
That I've always been.

Where do the kids go, when their mothers tell them that they're just not good enough?
They don't go to my shows, they don't go to my shows.
Like minded people, like minded people is all I want,
Like minded people.
Where do the kids go, when their mothers tell them that they're just not good enough?
They don't go to my shows, they don't go to my shows.
Like minded people, like minded people is all I want,
Like minded people.

Keep trying, you know its all you've got,
But you'll break your heart for other people, it'll never be enough,
Your chip will burn out, you'll go back underground.
To the ones that have no glamour, but you ought to have around,
And no one will notice, when you end up floating,
In the river that was your life, and all of your good times,
Success don't mean anything, if you're alone when you're winning.
Don't get me wrong, I know exactly what you meant,
I spent 18 of these 19 years begging to be different,
We all want the same thing, a better beginning, but you won't get that.
There is somebody inside you who is desperate to hold you back,
You're not a failure, you're just on your way there..
Don't get me wrong, I know exactly what you meant,
I spent 18 of these 19 years begging to be different,
We all want the same thing, a better beginning.
Whoever said that being what you want to be was as easy as a choice,
Needs to go back to the playground and try to be the older boys.
(Don't get me wrong, I know exactly what you meant,
I spent 18 of these 19 years begging to be different,
We all want the same thing, a better beginning)

I've got a weight on my chest,
it's not budging maybe this song will assist,
It's caught between my throat and my tongue, and it's starting to sting,
I'm holding onto a thought I don't want to, it's planted deep inside,
I don't want to think it, I don't want to speak it.
How I wish that I could sit with my head in the clouds, figure it out,
Drink some water down, it might catch that sting,
Anoint the fear so I can see clear,
The storm is passing along for the moment, rest now it's done,
Listen for quiet, enjoy the silence.
Stop making sense of all the things that don't make any sense,
And jump that fence.
Stop making sense of all the things that don't make any sense,
Stop making sense of all the things that don't make any sense.
I'm sick of waiting around for a solution,
I'm sick of talking about my problems,
It's not supposed to be this hard, it's not supposed to be this hard,
Until it passes there's not much I can do,
until the symptoms go I guess I'm stuck in this room,
Oh yeah you're crippling me, it's as if I can't breathe.
Stop making sense of all the things that don't make any sense,
Stop making sense of all the things that don't make any sense.
