Can you apologize when you look me in the eye?
Lately it seems that there is a reason why
I'm losing count between the breaks in your fevered stare
All these ample sinners tend to go nowhere
And that mirror is still showing me the same damn face
I'll clean up or I'll make a convincing disgrace
Pull it out from the cracks bound beneath the floor
Give it up to the attitudes I adore
I'm still racing the turn over the hourglass
Contemplating a moment that's already past
Self denial will only get you so far
I imagine from the steering wheel of my car
I remember in twilight I would drive so fast
Can't decipher my reckoning with the past
Fearing my own truth will be perceived as fake
Sticks and stones yet not a single bone to break
And it's hard to be this sincere
When what you keep near
Is claiming to be someone you're not
And it's hard to keep you close
When what you mean the most
Is claiming to be someone you're not
