When I waken, and I'm achin', time for sleepin', yeah
When I'm sayin', "time to go" and, "I've been hurtin'", yeah
When I'm layin', I'm still tryin', concentratin' on dyin', yeah

You're right as rain, but you're all to blame
Agreed, my crime's the same
My sins I'll claim, give you back shed pain
Go find a place for own shame
So you can deal with this thing unreal
No one made you feel any hurt, yeah

Body's movin', only provin', no one needed to move
Still believin', yet mistaken, all God's children, yeah
And I must say, I was stupid, selfishly she consumed, yeah

And you must change patterns all we trained
Or n'er regain peace you seek
Now you hear me, for the things I see
Yeah, I believe in inner peace, yeah

Throw out, blow up, hold in
Show fine, no signs, grow blind
