I am not the way
I am not your savior
I am just the one
The only one you have
And if there was a way
Don't you think we'd have found it days ago?
So we just remain
A sore without a salve
So we count the ways
Or is just the days?
Until we can discern
Between the real and the advertised
So keep that grin right wide
Don't let it touch your eyes
They might not realize
How crazy you've become
If you don't believe
You're wasting precious time
And time's so hard to come by
Oh god, I'm losing you again
So please just hold on tight
And try for the hundredth time
To make the other ninety-nine
More than a futile exercise
I still remember you
Or at least I think I do
But the you that I recall
Would not consort with me at all
It occurs to me
That you are a familiar stranger
A hellish war's survivor
Sutured and insane
If you don't believe
You're wasting precious time
And time's so hard to come by
Oh god, I'm losing you again
So please just hold on tight
And try for the hundredth time
To make the other ninety-nine
More than a futile exercise
I... I... I...
I am not the way
I am not your savior
I am just the one
The only one you have
And if there was a way
Well, don't you think we'd have found it years ago?
So we just remain
A sore without a salve
If you don't believe
You're wasting precious time
And time's so hard to come by
Oh god, I'm losing you again
So please just hold on tight
And try for the hundredth time
To make the other ninety and nine
More than a futile exercise
Oh god, I'm losing you again
So let's try more than a futile exercise
I... I... I...
