I delve into myself ceaselessly
But I rarely see
What I want to see
Embracing the future
Forgetting the past
Love lost and misfortune
The chaos and the crass

I'm wary of you
But you're oblivious to me
I'm chained to your ego
And there isn't a key
I play with emotions
But never my own
Don't you recognise me
Try looking inwardly

But you won't see me

Such a strange situation
As I wallow in waste
That such a trivial victory
Should put a smile on your face
Using me as the scapegoat
For what you want to believe
So I'll just bow out politely
And tip my cap as I leave [bad word] ci [bad word] ca

My eyes are wide open
Yours are closed
It's time you realised I'm a part of you

Look inwardly
Don't bleed for me
Look to yourself
