Did you think that I would disappear?
Did you think that I would wash away?
Did you think that I would last this long?
Did you think that I would get this strong?
Everytime they try make me change
They just wear me down with more chains

*and it feels like that you're with me or against me
and it feels like that your promises are all mess
and it feels like that to push me is to shove me
and it feels like that the only way is the wrong way

Did you think that I could be your crutch?
Did you think that life could mean so much?
Did you think that this could end in bust?
Did you think that this is plain old lust?

Everytime they tried to make me change
They just wear me down with more chains

*Repeat

And it feels like the only way is the wrong way
And it feels like the only way is the wrong way
The only way is the wrong way
You always push me down

*awake on my airplane
awake on my airplane
my skin is bare
my skin is theirs

I feel like newborn
and I feel like a newborn
awake on my airplane
awake on my airplane
I feel so real

**could you take my picture
cause I won't remember
could you take my picture
cause I won't remmeber
could you take my picture
cause I won't remember
could you take my picture
cause I won't remember - yeah

I don't believe in
I don't believe in your sanctity your prophecy
I don't believe in
I don't believe in sanctity or hipocrisy
can everyone agree that no one should be left alone
can everyone agree that they should not be left alone
and I feel like a newborn
and I feel like a newborn (kicking and screaming)

**repeat

hey dad what do you think about your son now?
hey dad what do you think about your son now?

**could you take my picture
cause I won't remember
could you take my picture
cause I won't remmeber - yeah

I wish I would've met you
now it's a little late
what you could've taught me
I could've saved some face
they think that your early ending was all wrong
for the most part they're right
but look how they all got strong
that's why I say hey man nice shot
what a good shot man
a man has gun
hey man have fun
nice shot
now that the smokes gone and the air is all clear
those who were right there got a new kind of fear
you'd fight and you were right
but they were just to strongthey'd stick it in your face
and let you smell what they consider wrong
that's why I say hey man nicenice shot
what a good shot man
a man has gun
hey man have fun
nice shot
I wish I would've met you
I wish I would've met you
I'd say nice shot

I've got the understanding of a four year old
I've got the piece of mind of a killer's soul
I've got the rationale of a New York cop
I've got the patience of a chopping block

I've got the acumen of a seasoned pro
I've got the legacy of a billion souls
I've got the world down my back, but I don't seem to care
I've got the comprehension of a world unaware

Can't you trip like I do?

Laid out on my back, I can't sleep 'cause I'm slumming
Eyes in my teeth, I can't see 'cause I'm eating
Head full of noise, I can't think 'cause it's crushing
Back on my feet, like a freight train I'm coming

One is the loneliest number that you'll ever do
Two can be as bad as one, its the loneliest number since the number one
No is the saddest experience you'll ever know
Yes is the saddest experience you'll ever know
Cause one is the loneliest number that you'll ever know
One is the loneliest number even worst then two
Yeah

Its just no good anymore since you went away
Now I spend my time just making up rhymes of yesterday
One is the loneliest number
One is the loneliest number
One is the loneliest number
Since you went away
Since you went away

One is the loneliest number since you've gone away
One is the loneliest number
One is the loneliest number
One is the loneliest number
Since you've gone away

Its just no good anymore since you went away
Now I spend my time just making up rhymes of yesterday
One is the loneliest number
One is the loneliest number
One is the loneliest number
Since you went away
Since you went away
