I'm very hypocritical

Tonight, I spoke with the devil How strange, he looked like me A beckoning hand, an awful grin Is this what I'm meant to be?

That mirror is cracked now, My hands bleeding fast I can gaze no longer At the face from the past

Oh, when will you understand? When will you understand That I'm so much more than a sleight of hand Oh, I'm just a little tired, that's all Just don't forget to catch when I fall

Yes, tonight I spoke with an angel Strange, they looked a lot like me Yet unwilling to help, was he Choosing again to be Unnervingly selfish.

Always the duality changes my morality Into creatures of their own So please now don't get mad at me but You'd better watch your tone

Oh, when will you understand? When will you understand That I'm nothing more than a grain of sand Oh, I'm just a little tired, that's all Just don't forget to laugh when I fall

It's all over But hasn't even really begun You don't know me But I don't even know myself

Oh, when will you understand? When will you understand That I'm always stuck here in no-man's-land Oh, I'm just a little tired, that's all Just don't forget to watch when I fall
