Verse one:
I keep climbing out of some hole, 
I don’t remember ever climbing in, 
no matter how far you get 
some people won’t let you shed your skin 
and you never should stay where you don’t belong, 
Yeah and people can steer you wrong
 
Chorus:
Blame it on the lies they tell, 
blame it on the truth they just can’t own, 
blame it on the lies  I tell myself… 
maybe I’m too scarred, maybe I’m too far from my home.



Verse two:
Like a brand new suit with the same old lousy stain, 
I see the similarly afflicted faces lined with pain, 
and I don’t want to know their name, 
yeah cause people are all the same…

Chorus:

Instrumental bridge... build...

Chorus: repeat

Reprise: like a brand new suit with the same old lousy stain

End, out
