Failures and fakes, and those who donât get their way, all seem to have excuses for how they think.
Justified, dignified, they all pledge their innocence.
And I would know, because Iâm one of them
Itâs through expression that we mark our understanding
Are we who we are if itâs who we appear to be?
Let me tell you friends, Iâve found out the hard way.
Imitations donât produce originality
Donât think Iâve escaped
Iâm just as guilty because weâre all failures and fakes, and if you wonât believe it, well then Iâve seen your future. Itâs not that impressive.
Excuses. We got them all.
Theyâre weighing us down.
We all got faults, but no one seems to be blaming themselves.
Friends, Iâve found out the hard way
Hypocrisy runs free when you talk as if youâre blameless
Donât think Iâve escaped
Iâm just as guilty because weâre all failures and fakes, and if you wonât believe it, well then Iâve seen your future. Itâs not that impressive.
But if youâre not willing to be reasonable then Iâll be leaving because thereâs no use in trying to change the proud or heal the ungrateful.
You know better than I do that your walls are falling down and thereâs no way for you to stop it.
This is no oneâs fault but your own.
So stop running from your problems because they wonât fix themselves.
Weâre all broken. Weâre all so broken.
It takes a man to acknowledge his weakness.
There may only be a speck in your eye, but denialâs going to keep it there.
I know thereâs a plank in my eye, but Iâm willing to admit it.
You got no trouble finding sin in my eyes, but all that changes when it seems like itâs your neck on the line.
