Lyrics
Alienation
Been tryin' not to hide
anything locked inside. I
Been tryin' not to play
any game I can't win
I used to hide behind
an armor-plated state of mind. I
wore it like my skin.
It's alright.
It's always a dogfight,
Draggin the demons out.
It's alright.
It's always a long night,
talkin'about...
Alienation.
Time for my vacation from this
alienation.
What's our destination?
Been hangin' by a thread
dangled from the hand above my head.
Been reachin' for the ground,
thinkin' its the highest place around.
AllI want's a way
to I don't know where.
Show me one today
and we can go there.
Been tryin' not to hide
anything locked inside. I
Been cryin'. Not today.
Maybe the game is won.
I used to hide behind
an armor-plated state of mind.I
Wore it like a gun.
