20 - 20
From this vantage point
I can see a lot of rust
Down on the iron fist that used to hold the boom and bust
No advantage points
To a basic lack of trust
In all the things I have and all the things that I think I must
twenty - twenty
twenty - twenty
I can never see forever
Through another face
Through another pair of eyes
Things look so different I no longer have to look surprised
From another place
From another time
The lie I disbelieved then has become the truth I authorize
twenty - twenty
twenty - twenty
I can never see forever
You better watch your step, without a doubt
The truth too obvious to have outsiders point it out
You better watch what comes out of your mouth
Cause I'm so fucked up I can't see my own life going south
Can't guarantee what I'm about to do
It could be all that's wrong with me
Is everything that's wrong with you
