about

One of our earliest tunes. Brad wrote this before the band got together.

lyrics

Am I the last one here?
Am I alone?
Am I the only one
who doesn't know?

Exactly why I came here in the first place
Maybe my head is just stuck out in space

She doesn't look this way
When she's alone
She knows just where she's going
Even when I don't

And I know that she's always been the one
But everything I say should make her run

No more pretending
To be something I'm not
She has got it made
But I've still got a lot
There's only so much I can do while I'm still here
So I will do this trick and then I will disappear
Disappear

I've got all these illusions
Nobody's fooled
I've tried to push these lies
But it's obvious they aren't true

And I know that I could be so much more than this
And I wonder what other things I might have missed

No more pretending
To be something I'm not
She has got it made
But I've still got a lot
There's only so much I can do while I'm still here
So I will do this trick and then I will disappear
Disappear
