The True False Identity
Earlier Baghdad (The Bounce) - T Bone Burnett
I am not important
I am a broken man
Throw myself on your mercy
You who have wronged me
I built my life in vainglory
I lost sight of the light
Where once I walked down streets of gold
I stumble through the darkness
I offer you my broken image
On the alter of your hatred for me
It?s a phantom it is nothing
But it?s all I have to give
Every word we say is crucial
A lie to avoid a lie
Can we bridge the gap between us
Will you pray with me
Could you use some quiet
Can you perform an exorcism
You numbed you conscience with sanctimony
I numbed mine with narcissism
I surrender to you
You who I so long despised
I will expect nothing
Believing you to be kind
Can you accept me shattered
Can you speak with one who is no one
This must all be kept in context
And Yesenia gets a book deal
