| I’m tired of the games we play
|
| I’m cashing in my chips today
|
| and while I have my sanity
|
| I’m taking what is close to me
|
| I still have my integrity
|
| My honor and my pride
|
| These are things you cannot take
|
| So don’t waste your time
|
| I’m tired of things I wouldn’t do
|
| I’m tired of things I wouldn’t say
|
| I’m tired of all the pleasantries
|
| It’s all apart of the game we play
|
| Now I see
|
| I cannot be what isn’t me
|
| Now I know
|
| I’m not part of the bigger show
|
| Now I feel
|
| The person I am is truly real
|
| So to you
|
| I have revealed my basic truth
|
| A trying thing this life we lead
|
| Some obscured reality
|
| A constant fight for privacy
|
| To preserve my sanity
|
| What you’ve got’s not what you see
|
| Perspectives change from you to me
|
| Is this what you’re trying to be
|
| A mirror of society
|
| Once inside the looking glass
|
| Colors fade so very fast
|
| Who are you, do you know
|
| Or just a face for the freakshow
|
| Now I see
|
| I cannot be what isn’t me
|
| Now I know
|
| I’m not part of the bigger show
|
| Now I feel
|
| The person I am is truly real
|
| So to you
|
| I have revealed my basic truth
|
| A trying thing this life we lead
|
| Some obscured reality
|
| A constant fight for privacy
|
