I want to be something that I'm not
but this little me is all that I've got
I tried to be good, tried to be bad
tried to make believe that I'm not sad
If life is a game, then I'm gonna lose
the score has been set and these are the rules:
I can't change and you're the the reason why
'Cause when I'm alone I feel fine
and when you're around I wanna lay right down and die
So don't point the finger and give me the blame
take a look at yourself you oughta be ashamed
I can't change and you're the reason why

Separation Song

I watched from afar in the seat in the neon light
just another date that you had to take on another Friday night
Wake me up when it's over; at this point I'd rather not go
when you take one puff of your cigarette
and tell me you've no regrets in the morning
one puff of your cigarette
look to the sky and damn the world you were born in
It's just smoke and darts, and breaking hearts
the Italian way that I knew from the start
and like my mother said, I'd be better off dead
than traipsing around with the likes of you
Wake me up when it's over; at this point I'd rather not go
when you take one puff of your cigarette
and tell me you've no regrets in the morning
one puff of your cigarette
like your father did before you, and your father's father did before him
and your father's father's (...)
Is this why I sleep alone in the night?
Is this why I still can't see the light?
Is this why I lie on the concrete floor
begging for answers and searching for more?
When you said goodbye there were tears in my eyes in the morning
just a child you bore in this endless war of love

Actor (Generic Emotions)

I've grown so tired of playing out the part they wrote for me
I've grown so worn; the stage ain't what they promised it would be
now here I am: an actor on a screen
just tell me who to be and where to stand
now here I am, just running through the motions
and the generic emotions of a man
I've hurt myself living out a lie that wasn't true
there's nothing left to heal the pain that I've been going through
I've got to run from the melodrama
from the primadonas and the fans
I've got to run 'til I break the motions
and the generic emotions of a man
I close my eyes and try to make the voices go away
with every word another line or thing I've got to say
and I can't tell where my thoughts begin
or where the hell I've been or who I am
but here I stand, caught up in the motions
and the generic emotions of a man
and I'm so tired
