lyrics

V1. Life runs circles around my body and I’m failing to…
Life runs circles around my body and I’m faded too.

V2. Life’s a bad game.
Dead bones and live shame
'Til the day’s through.

I found a long way home.

V3. Life runs circles around my body and I'm failing to...

I found a long way home.

Chorus

Anything you ask, I already know.
I am not your friend and this is not a show.
Everything I have is everything I own.
I will always reap and you will always sow.
I am not your friend and this is not a show.

Anything you ask about my life, I will show you the things I choose to leave out.
