They Looked Like Strong Hands

They Looked Like Strong Hands

Bayside
(album: Acoustic CD/DVD)

This isn´t who I am.
From confidence to self doubt in 60 seconds.
Storming stages and stereos from here to there,
trying to prove that I belong.
Trying to win approval from people that I don´t know.

And I look so strong
when the weight of all the world
don´t take its toll.
And I´d choose my sides
if I believed in what was right,
but I´m all wrong.

I´m not larger than life, I´m not taller than trees.
Do I mean what I say? Is it just this disease where I never go home.
Never telling the truth how this life eats away.
Not admitting I´m fake
and I´m questioning whether this whole thing was worth it to die poor and all alone?

And I look so strong
when the weight of all the world
don´t take its toll.
And I´d choose my sides
if I believed in what was right,
but I´m all wrong.

Just don´t tell me this doesn´t mean the world,
´cause my ears would bleed and my heart would hit the floor.

And I look so strong
when the weight of all the world
don´t take its toll.
And I´d choose my sides
if I believed in what was right,
but I´m all wrong.
