lyrics

Some say things are never always how they appear
I won't understand what you teach me by
Choking back your tears
It's sometimes easier to see in the dark than
Staring into the sun
I won't believe them when they say I can
Learn from a dead man and his smoking gun

CHORUS
Not who I am
Not what I was
Not every effect
Excuses the cause
Not where I go
Not who I see
Not everyone's
Addicted to me

You ain't never gonna make it out alive
Every dog charges fair price
Step in any direction you can and
Throw the dice
Burn, baby, burn
Like a disco inferno
502 over-bored
Charred like a carburetor
Filled with gas
In the crown of a
Fictionary lord

CHORUS ii
Not here and now
Nor a later time
A handful of spite
To show for our crimes
Hole in my hand
Pain in my head
If I'm alive
Then why am I dead?

You hold on to
The nail in your right hand
And make a fist with your left
You pay the loss
Count the cost then
Pay for the rest
Rant and rage
Burn the page
Then quote it's words
Bloodstain the snow
They say they know
But I wonder if they ever heard

CHORUS iii
Not what you said
They've been lying to us
For 2000 years
Betrayed by those you trust
Stabbed in the side
Nailed to a cross
Nothing can hurt worse
Than to have your message lost

Not a little love
Not lost to life
You're not the one who
Perpetrated this lie
