Close my eyes and ask myself a question Why is it I do what I do? Am I lookin' for some happy definition Life and love in the corners of the truth?
Or am I just some, curious bystander Lookin' at the world through a child's eyes Sunlight always shinin' on my shoulders While the storm rages on deep inside, deep inside
And it seems so hard to keep it all together When the walls are fallin' down on every side Yea, but I'll be damned, if I give up on it easy I've worked too hard, to get the barricades this high
Is this world's a stage we're meant to play on? Direction from inside on what to do I know I should have all of the answers
Deep inside I haven't got a clue, not a clue
And it seems so hard, to keep it all together When the walls are fallin' down on every side Yea, but I'll be damned, if I give up on it easy I've worked too hard, to get the barricades this high, yaa yeah
Told myself that I would be okay Told myself I'd be all right no doubt Somewhere low I know that I've been lying Can't believe it took me thirty years To figure that shit out
And it seems so hard, to keep it all together When the walls are fallin' down on every side Yea, but I'll be damned, if I give up on it easy I've worked too hard to, get the barricades this high, yeah oh
