Lyrics:
-------

Verse 1:
Sometimes it's hard to stay sane 
dogtags like shackles on my brain 
We've got a language of our own 
you learn to talk bad 
when you're far from home. 

Dusty books on my shelf 
It's kind of like running from yourself 
Five years between the two extremes 
I lived my life in books, 
or so it seems. 

Chorus:
And all I could see was an older me 
I had to reach down inside 
before life took me for a ride 

Verse 2:
I lie awake at night, 
I don't know wrong from right 
and no one realy knows who you are 
but they're all telling you 
that you're gonna go far 

Chorus:
And all I could hear 
was a ringing in my ear 
boxes of words locked in my room 
but I never wrote the tune.
