Standard (EADGBE)

I'm feeling this time as bad as never before

A bleeding wag is fading away

Once you needed me for spending delight

But below this funny mask there's a crying face

The way that I smile is the way that I cry

But you'll never realize

My reputation is the one of a fool

Now watch how a poet dies

Hear his cries

And I dedicate my roses to no one

Cause there is no mind to help me to see

The reason we need a light for the lonesome

And no one to drink the blood that I bleed

The poet inside wasn't given a chance

So he had to live apart

And I realize my best friend am I

And not those parasites who try to stare

Into my heart

The way that I feel is the way that I heal

My body and soul and my life

And I know you just think I'm a fool

Now watch how a poet flies

See me rise

And I dedicate my roses to no one

Cause there is no mind to help me to see

The reason we need a light for the lonesome

And no one to drink the blood that I bleed
