When I was young
I'd live for fun
As I grew old
I'd do what I was told
Head in the clouds
Do it for myself
Obsessed for wealth
I think I lost my self

But all the people walked together
We bring on the stormy weather

I can't help myself
I see it
I want it
And I want to touch it
I have to control it
An undamaged soul
The world presents itself
I see you
I want you
And I want to touch you
I have to control you
Your gentle soul

Don't you see it in my eyes
I come in disguise
I promise all the lies include a compromise
You can make a deal with me
I'll keep it real sweet
We can rinse and repeat
I know that's what you like from me
Don't you see it in my life
The way i'm getting by
A world of catastrophe, I'll stand by my belief
You'll win or lose with me
That's what we want to see
A little company in the eye of humanity

I'll go along with whatever you tell me
Break it to me softly
That's the way they got me
I wouldn't mind if you tried
To hide the truth within the lie
Silence the polluted sky

I have a weakness in my bones
Something I felt was there before
A guide made of passion I can't ignore
Who leads me through fate's open door
I feel it running through my veins
The years of pride and loss and pain
Do I have to admit to my mistakes?
My heart would break

I won't help myself
I stall it
I hate it
And I want to break it
Glad to demonstrate it
I must have control
It's my fate
I'll take it
I'll bend it
I'll waste it
If I feel I must change it
I'll own it
My gentle soul

Don't you see it in my eyes
I come in disguise
I promise all the lies include a compromise
You can make a deal with me
I'll keep it real sweet
We can rinse and repeat
I know that's what you like from me
Don't you see it in my life
The way i'm getting by
A world of catastrophe, I'll stand by my belief
You'll win or lose with me
That's what we want to see
A little company in the eye of humanity
