I generally stay out of sight and mind And keep my circles close Cause I can't spare the time For the feral words that come up left and right From the tongues Of the untamed speculating kind Color me in shades of grey and I I don't have a problem clearing up the air Tell me that I'm treading on thin ice But the proof is in the steps we share I was begging mercy With my head bowed As I atoned for every selfish little deed But I'm losing my sleep And my mind now Trying to find the difference between you and me I make my attempts at clarity Rectify my name Or make amends at least I don't stomach any of this game Anymore But to them it's like the air they breathe Convolute the things you say I did And forgive my blank distracted eyes Just send a test or email better yet You can put "hurt" in the subject line Make me like a spectacle for everyone to see I hope that you feel better now Hold me up and throw your shots if it'll help you sleep Cause it's hard to in this noisy town I've become a spectacle for all your friends to see And their holy gavel weighed me down Put me on a pedestal pull your shots on me And from this height I see clearer now I was begging mercy With my head bowed As I atoned for every selfish little deed But I'm losing my sleep And my mind now Trying to find the difference between you and me I was quite convinced I was too broken from my flaws Until I saw the cracks you hid beneath Baby listen to me Won't you come down Off of this pedestal too high for you to see Maybe listen to me Won't you come down Off of this pedestal too high for you to see
