The Depth of Self-Delusion

I could be foreign forever

To your otherland

I could be foreign forevermore

To your promiseland

One life was great but another

No, I don't want to live on the edge

I won't follow you, I found my own

I will stay

I could be foreign forever

To your hasteland

I could be foreign forevermore

To your neverland

One little brick then another

And I will build that wall anyway

You can find me there, rested and calm

Without mask

This is where I will stay

Look around where we are, who we are

What we always want

Twenty-four-seven-three-sixty-five

Sometimes little more

I was chasing your shadow

Not knowing I'd become your slave

I could be foreign forever

To your otherland

I could be foreign forevermore

To your promiseland

One life was great but another

No, I don't want to live on the edge

I won't follow you, I found my own

I will stay

I could stay forevermore

I've said a farewell

To never-ending smiles

I did not look good in red

From my place

I can finally

See how much

Of this shade

I called

Myself

Was me

And what was left behind

I could be foreign forever

To your otherland

I could be foreign forevermore

To your promiseland

One life was great but another

No, I don't want to live on the edge

I won't follow you, I found my own

I will stay

I could stay forevermore

I've said a farewell

To never-ending smiles

From my place I can finally see

How much of this shade

Was me

And what was left behind
