There's a bluff inside my head
Is it pride or just the edge
I'll have to face before I take my next step
I try to justify
Another way out
Deep down I know there's nothing left for me here
You can try to take the broken pieces of my mind
And try one, two, three, or many more times
To fit them back in their shell
Remember that I'm the only one who can tell
I find there's more to life
Than standing where I've lied
Everlasting life can only heal so many wounds
There's neither doubt nor conviction
In my mind's eye
Since I'm standing on a bluff I can see the valley clear.
You can try to take the broken pieces of my mind
And try one, two, three, or many more times
To fit them back in their shell
Remember that I'm the only one who can tell
You told me to look for a man
That would be my bridge
To the promised land
And you handed me some wine
Then followed with a book
Yet you tell me I'm already snared by the devil's hook
But I find I'm impatient
In the realization
That the only way to cross
Was to burn that bridge on down
You can try to take the broken pieces of my mind
And try one, two, three, or many more times
To fit them back in their shell
Remember that I'm the only one who can tell
