If you ever find yourself believing All those things you made up To save yourself the trouble Of having to explain - yeah The mess you're in We are in the same boat Just struggling to remain afloat On this pond we're in (?) Do you ever go just a little too far? Do you ever - fight to escape who you are? Do you ever - try to get by on your smile? And do you ever - wake in a shroud of denial, once in a while Wondering why What's the next step The first is admitting you may have A problem in saying it out loud Anyone will do We need to get used to the concept The truth seems better skewed (?) But seeing is believing And you can't see the truth Do you ever go just a little too far? Do you ever - fight to escape who you are? Do you ever - try to get by on your smile? And do you ever - wake in a shroud of denial, once in a while Wondering why "That's not it", You said as you looked to the ground While wearing that unembraced frown "I must have been thinking aloud", And now there's no turning back now "And there's that familiar - taste. Of my foot in my mouth."
