Who would have dreamed all the difference it made was in the look of an eye as I wandered by?
and when you came round, challenged and proud, the lights and the lows were just wasting your time?
Now it's been quite a while and I'm angry and tired, exposing my soul, playing to walls,
scraping the end of a drunken bar brawl, playing for time, trying to stay high -
So I've tempered and tamed but my face hasn't changed I've practised my soul for you all to hold
if you're listening well I'm a damn easy sell - I'm easily sold
With every new step getting deeper it seems and further away from what might have been
and the future revolves in an endless bar scene, weather forecasts and cheap magazines
Now I'll shed my ideals in the blink of eye, there's plenty more out there that I haven't tried
trying to stay true is making me tired maybe I've told myself too many lies -
So I've ripped out my heart to make a new start I've practised my soul for you all to hold
if you're listening well I'm a damn easy sell - I'm easily sold
it's the safest old place that I've built all these years now I'm tearing down I'm going back to the ground
I'll follow their lead of glory and greed no longer I'll dream how this world ought to be
see I've ripped out my heart to make a new start I've practised my soul for you all to hold
if you're listening well I'm a damn easy sell - I'm easily sold |
