It's over today The heat is gone Time is gone F for fake I feel no wrong Hide no wrong I love this place The lights Under this face So dry Only way to change Give yourself away Don't be ashamed Next in line Close one eye Just walk by In these days I'm breathing stone Crying alone I'll win this race I'll leave alone Arrive alone. Love this place The lights Under this face So dry Stripped to the bone I did no wrong Truth is my name Give yourself away F for fake F for fake F for fake F for fake Give yourself away Give yourself away Give yourself away
