Don’t I feel different don’t I feel blessed, I don’t feel nothing I must
confess, don’t I feel special don’t I feel pure, don’t it feel good
knowing I’ve found the cure, don’t it hurt just the same maybe even a
little bit more, it don’t help one bit to know what for, don’t it feel like a
cramp in my mind, don’t it shine like a vision in front of these eyes so
blind.
Oh you cant afford not to pay the price, the truth hurts but these lies
kill, even the best choice is a sacrifice, between what’s easy and what is
real.
Don’t I feel like a martyr don’t I feel like god’s fool, don’t I feel like
hell’s enemy don’t I feel like heaven’s tool, don’t I live in ecstasy don’t
I shudder in bliss, don’t my lips get numb from beauty’s kiss, don’t
this pain ever stop even after you pull the thorn, must I always suffer
this scorn, don’t I feel sorry for myself don’t my heart ache, don’t I
give and give and give and never hope to take.
Oh you cant afford not to pay the price, the truth hurts but these lies
kill, even the best choice is a sacrifice, between what’s easy and what is
real.
Don’t I wanna be a hero don’t I wanna be a saint, don’t I wanna be
everything that I aint, don’t I wanna teach the people don’t I wanna
shine the light, haven’t we lived long enough in this cold black night,
don’t I wanna live in a cave live on grapes and meditation, don’t I
wanna shun the world and the curse of complication, do I feel like a
gentle lamb in this world so rough, no I just feel like me and that’s
good enough.
And that’s a price you can afford to pay, these lies hurt but this truth is
gonna kill, the only way is the best way, between what is and what is
real.
