Backfire
So you think?
So you think you know?
Claim you know my temperament?
Claim you understand my soul?
Tell them who I am?
Tell them what I like?
Tell them what I know?
Look into my eyes, look into my soul
See the doors close?
That tells you what you know
See the tears and cries when I was left alone?
See when my mind backfired - trying to convince myself that you were my home?
Oh, there is a part of me that you will never know
A part that guards this heart, a part that guards this soul
So stand there all you like trying to convince them all you know!
But that son died years - so many, many years ago.
