i fell into the trap
of thinking that i know more than i know
"you're wiser now," they said
but then i went and took it to my head
i used to be somebody
but now i'm on the brink
i'll have another cigarette
and fix myself a drink
i'm running from the places that are present in my dreams
it's hard to find a way to go when nothing's as it seems
