And I was led by the hand into a foreign land,
And when I was told blue was green, I believed.
Oh, I believed.
And nobody cared because the people liked my songs
And paid cold hard cash to listen, to see, to feel.
* * *
And it was easy for the wolf to see me as his mate,
To make me feel like I wanted it too.
And I thought that was what it was all about
Until I figured it out
And kicked him out.
* * *
But the man knows his shit and is the reason I’m still around
Despite being my own worst enemy
So I have to keep him near even though he makes my skin crawl.
And I have to beg my masters to let me keep creating art
But I’m tired of blowing the industry.
* * *
This is my one last chance to make it,
But I’m afraid I’m going to fuck it up
And I’ll fade into oblivion…and become my mother anyway.
* * *
No, no, no…this time, I will learn from my mistakes.
This time, I will fix everything I break.
Like a phoenix, I will rise from the ashes.
I will right all the wrongs so I can sing my songs.
And thank all the people who followed me all along
And believed in me.
I’m sorry…but I’m human, and I’ll do my best to speak the truth,
No matter what comes.
