it's been a long time coming - this lonely road - i left myself - a long, long time ago - it's been a long time running - since i got caught - doing all the things i don't - so why do i - feel the need to hide myself behind - a veil that doesn't show - who i am inside? - don't know who i think i'm helping - don't know who i think i am i - don't know - don't know - don't know - don't know - it's been a long time coming - this down and out - 'cause i was never very - honest with myself - it's been a long time running - since i was told - that it's alright to ask for help - so why do i - feel the need to hide myself behind - a veil that doesn't show - who i am inside? // i am trapped inside my mind - and i am stuck behind the times - that i was cool and calm and comfortable - does anybody see me here? - does anybody, anybody care? - does anybody hear me now?
