Light up another and sink into my past
The smoke stings my eyes, just like the last
Building up those tears, the lids will soon overflow
Spill out all the lies I wish no one will ever know

You’re intrigued by the image I tried to be,
But it was so hard for you to handle the real me.
Pealed off my mask and let my guard down
Sunken so deep in embarrassment, I almost drowned.

You just can’t appreciate the person I am
I’ll try to keep pretending I don’t give a damn
Each time you sink your nails into my back
Again, I fall right onto that track

Remember the one that would lead me to shame?
I know you do, the one you went down was the same
You molded it so I could follow in your tracks,
Shaped it just like the scars on our backs

I know you'll be a sun in somebody else's sky, but why can't it be mine?
-Eddie Vedder
