about

NO CAPO STANDARD TUNING

lyrics

I CHANGED SO FAST
WHEN I WASCAST
INTO A WORLD THAT NEVER LIVED UP TO THIS NAME
BUT STILL I KNEW
INSIDE I ALWAYS KNEW
I WASN'T BORN THIS CHILD OF FEAR AND PHANTOM FLAME
SO EVERY LOVE THAT CAME MY WAY
I THOUGHT THAT IT HAD NO PURPOSE
BUT TO SHINE AS STRAIGHT AND SIMPLE AS A STAR
OH BUT IT ALWAYS SEEMED TO END UP
BEING A LIMELIGHT IN THE CIRCUS
OF PLAYING OUT THE SMOKE AND MIRROR SHOW
OF JUST HOW SCARED OF LOVING SOME FOLKS ARE

THIS HOUSE OF SKIN
THAT I BIDE IN
I SEE IT BREAKING DOWN BEFORE THE WINDS OF TIME
I'M OUT OF DATE
THE HOUR IS GROWING LATE
I'M RUNNING OUT OF WORDS AND SELLING OUT OF RHYME
SO EVEY SONG THAT COMES MY WAY
I PRAY THAT IT HAS NO PURPOSE
BUT TO SHINE, SHINE OUT AS STRAIGHT AND SIMPLE AS A STAR
OH BUT IT ALWAYS SEEMS TO END UP
BEING REMANDED TO THE SERVICE
OF PLAYING OUT THE SHADOW PUPPET-PLAY
OF JUST HOW MEAN AND STUPID HUMANS ARE
