Your former you That stranger in the mirror Oh, that's you Why'd you look so blue? Now you're just a shallow In the morning on the train You sit and stare at the rain Or bury yourself in your books Don't look at no strangers

"My father, came from Japan, in 1905 He was fifteen when he, immigrated from Japan He, he, he worked until he was able to buy To actually build a store" Let me tell you a story in the form of a dream I don't know why I have to tell it, but I know what it

Let it all fall We alone remain Set this world ablaze You and I will stand as one You and I will be transformed Shed the weight of the world The burden has been lifted Don't fear what awaits Can you feel it?

If I don't, if I don't have you And even if the river should run dry I may stay away for a night or two But all form of respect unto you is still due But it's not that I really mean to embarrass you, 'cause darling If I don't, if I don't, if I don't have

This ain't a scene, it's a goddamn arms race I'm a leading man and the lies I weave are oh so intricate Oh so intricate yeah I am an arms dealer Fitting you with weapons in the form of words And don't really care which side wins Long as the room keeps

Oh, you don't form in the wet sand Elementary, son, but it's soul I'd like to say we did it for the better, oh I thought about it and I brought it out I'm motivated by the lack of doubt You don't form at all My shadow side, so amplified

Don't take it away Your grace (your grace) I'm not ready to be just another of your mistakes Don't wanna let the pieces fall out of place I was only just a breath removed from going to waste 'Til I found salvation in the form of your I got nothing but

And back down I don't want to waste my time Become another casualty of society I'll never fall in line Become another victim of your conformity Waste my time with a Strollin' to the party like my name is El Nino Well I'm hangin' out drinking in the back
