without a doubt i ve taken all you can give and now i suffer through this song feel free to hum along going back a few short years i can see that i was never really here as i collect the facts and sort them in rows it seems the question s always been how long can i keep this going you can use it against me in your saddest state of mind use it against me with my ego on the line use it against me anytime i try to simplify the plot to an outline but i can never make the end i want to read some lines that stray from the screenplay improvisation s never been something i can keep going i ve never preached a single word that doesn t sound a bit absurd i don t know how to pound it in to make it stick under my skin
