Standard (EADGBE)

From the scrapes and bruises

To the familiar abuses

I'll kick and scream but it never changes anything

I could spill my guts out

Wearing my best little girl pout

And I almost missed it

But nobody said that this was gonna be easy

This is not the man I hoped to be, and

I'm just trying to stop the bleeding

I don't know how to word it

I just started to deserve it

And all my, all my faces are alibis

And me, I'm half the man I wanted to be

Most times it all comes out wrong

I don't know the words but I'll hum along

There's nothing familiar here anymore

to anyone or anything left to feel alive

And I still taste that sickness

And it makes me crazy without it at best

But I'm in the same place I used to be

But I'm trying harder not to be

This is not the man I hoped to be

And I'm just trying to stop the bleeding

I don't know how to word it

I just started to deserve it

And all my, all my faces are alibis

And me, I'm half the man I wanted to be

So what am I? What am I? So what am I?

And all my, all my faces are alibis

This is not the man I hoped to be

And I'm just trying to stop the bleeding

I don't know how the words go

I just started not to say no

Don't want it, Don't get it

I know you won't regret it

Don't surface, Don't surface

And I feel so damned worthless

Another day is gone and all my faces are alibis

all my faces are alibis

I'm half the man I wanted to be
