lyrics

They told me my teeth weren't clean
No not nearly clean enough
But I'll still smile
I'll still smile

Sang my songs to an empty crowd
To an empty crowd
I don't mind
It's how I feel

Now I'm dancing like a ballerina
Who never learned to walk
And one day they told me
I must learn

Now my fingers are stained in
They are stained in red
From all the thoughts carouseling
Through the war in my mind

And I've changed that war a thousand times
No, a million times
But who is keeping count
If the clock don't have time to watch

Now I'm talking like a writer
Who never learned to speak
And one day they told me
I must learn

Oh it's how it goes, how it goes
I've got ten fingers and ten toes
With an approximation of a hands length between-
My head and my heart
You'd be surprised how much can get tangled up
Just traveling that distance

Oh the sign only reads, stop from one side
So if I look at it from a different angle, am I-
If I can't read the sign, If I can't see the sign
Am I free to pass?
Am I free to pass?

Oh it's how goes, how it goes
I think and I think
And sometimes I form words
Worthy enough for censored
Appropriation
But it don't always mean it's appropriate
To give 'em, their worth

Well they told me I wasn't good enough
Never good enough
For the likes of them,
For the likes of me

So I wrestled with it
I fought I rebelled- did my best to prove myself
But the number twelve
got the better hold on me
Now I'm smiling like a white toothed bastard
Who thinks they own the world
And I'm growing selfish over things I don't know
Hell we're all selfish over things that we don't own.
