I tried to be an island Yeah, I know, I know, I know
I tried to be a modern man I know, I know, I know
I tried to be a picket fence I broke, I broke, I broke
I wonder where my courage went I broke, I broke, I broke
How toothless of me to think I could learn to wait
I know
Why am I so destitute While I'm holding out for a soul?
I deal in absolutes when I try To take control
Truth be told
I try to be more common sense I know, I know, I know
A portrait of my elegance I know, I know, I know
I whisper something delicate I broke, I broke
How ruthless of me to think I can stand the chase
How foolish of me to think I can change my shape
Oh, I know
I am so destitute When I'm holding out for a soul
I deal in absolutes when I try To take control
Truth be told
And the crisis of me My identity in blood
How spineless of me to think I don't have the guts
I won't be toothless and I'll finally be enough
Oh, I know
I am so destitute When I'm holding out for a soul
I deal in absolutes when I try To take control
My body follows through When the winter gets so cold
Truth be told
