Mister Vertigo - Toll

I pay the hack and take my jacket from the back
I stand on apprehensive legs atop the saddest patch of black
Between receding seams are streams of weakened green
In stifled climes, a quiet fight if just to be
My pockets stocked with everything I own, I brought
My whole world with me; fitting, It's a splitting headache, nothing more
Smooth illusion, fluid once, is jagged through and through
The truth felt better when it was confusing, like before

Sometimes it feels a little bit funny
I'm the only one who knows this isn't real
And it seems to me to be disingenuous
To me, it means nobody feels the way I feel

I put the left before the right, try as I might
The sour stone beneath my feet rejects me
And still I feel you all expect me
To be a thousand heroes when I haven't saved myself but once
So to hell with health and history
And with responsibility

Sometimes it feels a little bit funny
The things we choose not to conceal
And it seems to me to be pretty obvious
To be someone who's hiding what he truly feels

Sometimes it feels a little bit funny
When there's nothing left to be revealed
Because it seems to me, the things we've said and done
And the directions that we run tell everyone just how we feel
Sometimes it feels a little bit funny
When I'm the only one who knows it's real
And it seems to me to be unbecoming
Nobody's asked me how it feels

Please believe me, I mean every word I say
If you could just pick up the telephone
Please don't leave me here alone this way
I know I just can't do this alone
