lyrics

Well I’ve walked down some darkened alleyways
Spent blackout nights in a fuzzy haze
I’ve spent some nights sleeping on other people’s floors
Well I’ve climbed out my share of windows
And I’ve climbed up all I thought was climbable
But now I plan to open up some doors

You can come with me if you’d like to
Or you can just kick back in your old chair
But you can find good things all around you
Or you can just rot in your own despair
Or you can just rot in your own despair

I’ve seen demons dressed as angels
And I’ve seen others wearing plain clothes
And of course it goes the other way around
Well my brain stems are doing exercise
As my body’s feeling electrified
From the touch of my feet on solid ground

You can call me whatever you’d like to
You can throw me under the bus
But don’t go acting like you have been lied to
‘Cause I’m just me and you’re just one of us
‘Cause I’m just me and you’re just one of us

Well a home can act as a portal
When you try to wrap your mind around the soul
But you can dismiss that as hocus poc
I’ve walked along many-a terrain
And I’ve knocked about with different gangs
But all I really wanted was to find some decent folk

I guess through different times I have found them
Though other times it was awfully hard to see
But nobody’s expecting you to be perfect
'Cause perfect ain’t something that I’m trying to be
'Cause perfect ain’t something that I’m trying to be
'Cause perfect ain’t something that I’m trying to be
'Cause perfect ain’t something that I’m trying to be
