Verse 1
Typical journeys beyond the sun
And roller-coasters in my heart
I've rejected love so many times that I've lost count
Black daggers and white knives
Within an inch of my eyes and hands
Always on guard and never surprised
Trust is reserved for fools
Catastrophic interactions and fallout like no one has ever seen
History is made and revised
The mind is the ultimate prize

Verse 2
Mad men and little women
Working together behind the scenes
Pushing paper and creating lies
These are the elders to despise
With one foot forward, a dozen steps back
Kicked repeatedly when on the ground
Yelling fire is more advantageous
To getting the help I need
The weak beg, the smart take for themselves
If the lights are red, they change it to green
Reinvention is a necessary skill
To learn and to implement

Verse 3
A rebel of unknown status
Refusing the poison that's presented to me
Still, some things go unnoticed
The senses are compromised
In an era of confusion and angst
The lack of fortitude is the centrepiece
If I have no standards, I'll accept everything
Blending in like snowflakes in blizzards
All roads eventually lead to somewhere
My main goal is to achieve peace of mind
Nothing is free, sacrifices must be made
To learn is to live with failure

Chorus 1
Bumps and bruises come and go
The healing process is sometimes slow
Naturality gains popularity
But no one knows who I am

Chorus 2
Distractions and deadlines come and go
Personal improvement is sometimes slow
Psychology gains popularity
But no one knows who I am

Chorus 3
Thoughts and actions come and go
The passage of time is sometimes slow
Marathons gain popularity
But no one knows who I am
