Who's going to hear my confession if you're not awake for this call?
I used to be able to take on the world alone
I used to pride myself on having no allegiance at all
But I was mining myself
I was mining myself for too long
Now I'm wondering where my resources have gone
When I'm wrong
I am wrong
And in the language of these cities
I can hear all the same themes
All the young and talented indentured to their dreams
I used to promise we'd never fall victim to those schemes
But now I wonder was I right to fight with the stream?
You said
Maybe you'll get what you want
Maybe not when you want it
Maybe there isn't a breakthrough you can time
When I'm wrong
I am wrong
When I'm wrong
Well maybe I believe my detractors
Count myself among the damned
But tonight I am their man
Pretending that I understand
'Cause I understand, understand, understand, understand, understand
How the loneliness is veiled
Underneath the thinnest plans
Because I've tried to disguise this every way that I can
You said
Maybe you'll get what you want
Maybe not when you want it
Maybe at some great cost
Maybe you won't recognise it (oh)
