I keep a note that I wrote on a taxi receipt
It says, "Don't listen to anyone other than me."
I hit the big time for a nominal fee
But when I look in the mirror
There's somebody else that I see
You lose a friend in the end
For every dream that comes true
And every dream that comes true
Takes a piece out of you
I hit the big time for a nominal fee
But when I look in the mirror
There's somebody else that I see
Three years under water and I ain't got the shakes
But when I rise to the surface
The surface won't break
It just won't break
I've got scars on my scrapes
I've got bruises on my breaks
Masochistically committed
To see how much of this I can take
I hit the big time for a nominal fee
But when I look in the mirror
There's somebody else that I see
I've got dreams to remember and days to forget
I've got calls in to God, but He ain't called back yet
