Separate Reality
(Haynes)
Children in the playground, laughing and dancing in the street
All the colors of the rainbow - wrapped in childlike harmony
Me, i'm not laughing - i see things only as they were
When i first needed you - yeah, when i first needed you
Cars passing by - representing my life
I ain't old but i ain't young enough to cry like a baby
And i'm so scared but i won't tell you for fear you'll hate me more
Tough on the outside, tough on the outside - yeah, tough all over
Coulds go rollin' by as i lay floatin' in a stream of semi-consciousness
I'll follow it 'til the end or at least 'til i drown in my separate reality
Sorry there's only room for me
I used to have an angel - she took care of everything
Yeah, so sometimes we cried - maybe more than most, but so what
We shared everything - even some things we should not have shared
Like my separate reality - now there's only room for me
I walk among the criminals and i pray among the saints
And somewhere in between i try to scrape off this war paint
It's cold in here in the corner of my soul - so dark and lonely
Oh but i ain't never gonna let go
Children in the playground - laughing and dancing in the street
All the colors of the rainbow - wrapped in childlike harmony
Me, i'm not laughing or dancing - i see things only as they were
When i first needed you - yeah, when i first needed you
I used to have everything - now you won't even talk to me, but that's alright
'cause i've got a new friend and her name is tattooed across my chest
And she won't let me down - 'cause i ain't never, never gonna let her in
Tough on the outside, tough on the outside - and it's surely tough
In my separate reality - sorry there's only room for me
In my separate reality - sorry there's only room for me, for me
Sorry there's only room for me
