lyrics

"You tell me I'm into something. It doesn't look so good and my skin's turning purple instead of the gold it should. I thought I knew just how to finally get away from all the things they taught me about a better place.

But that's a different story.

When I was just a child, I knew just who I'd be. I'd get a job and some babies and wonder who was me. I never thought I'd have to wonder what's inside or the meaning of it all, when it's all for their lives.

But that's a different story.

You can't tell me what I've got on my mind, or read the future in my palms when their lines are disappearing from being too clean. But try to read them. Tell me what do they mean?

Tell me I'll get something and I'll be feeling good. When my hands aren't so empty, I'll be just like I should. I'll go and pick some roses, maybe I'll try and pray, or let myself get lost in a beautiful mistake.

But that's a different story."
