Damn, I wish I had time for a band

I am just a little boy, crying in the dark
I am just a child whose lost his mom
I am just a man, who thinks he understands
I am just alone, wondering what went wrong

It's so easy to say, just give it all away
The foolishness, hypocrisy and vice
Why can't you understand, this is everything I am
Everything I ever wanted to be - crumbles into dust

I'm wandering the corridors, searching for a truth
Spun from the end of a life of absolutes
I knew it all before, now it's shattered on the floor
Alone, with my universe of pain

It's so easy to say, just give it all away
The foolishness, hypocrisy and vice
Why can't you understand, this is everything I am
Everything I ever wanted to be - has crumbled into dust

I've been walking along, the journeys been so long
I am so weary of the fight
Desperate to hold on, how could I be so wrong
even now, I'd love to find a sign
In the end this is all I am, I am just a man
At the end it's the beginning of my life
Trying to comprehend, the whole universe ahead
Condemning everything I've done and said

It's so easy to say, just give it all away
The foolishness, hypocrisy and vice
Why can't you understand, this is everything I am
Everything I ever wanted to be
Here I am at the end, my life has just began
Knowing what I am is what I am
The sacred's all around, in every sight and smell and sound
Knowledge here, and knowledge yet to come

That will never, crumble into dust
