Gov't Mule - My Separate Reality lyrics

Children in the playground, laughing and dancing in the street All the colors of the rainbow - wrapped in childlike harmony Me, I'm not laughing - I see things only as they were When I first needed you - yeah, when I first needed you Cars pa**ing by - representing my life I ain't old but I ain't young enough to cry like a baby And I'm so scared but I won't tell you for fear you'll hate me more Tough on the outside, tough on the outside - yeah, tough all over Coulds go rollin' by as I lay floatin' in a stream of semi-consciousness I'll follow it 'til the end or at least 'til I drown in my separate reality Sorry there's only room for me I used to have an angel - she took care of everything Yeah, so sometimes we cried - maybe more than most, but so what We shared everything - even some things we should not have shared Like my separate reality - now there's only room for me I walk among the criminals and I pray among the saints And somewhere in between I try to scrape off this war paint It's cold in here in the corner of my soul - so dark and lonely Oh but I ain't never gonna let go Children in the playground - laughing and dancing in the street All the colors of the rainbow - wrapped in childlike harmony Me, I'm not laughing or dancing - I see things only as they were When I first needed you - yeah, when I first needed you I used to have everything - now you won't even talk to me, but that's alright 'Cause I've got a new friend and her name is tattooed across my chest And she won't let me down - 'cause I ain't never, never gonna let her in Tough on the outside, tough on the outside - and it's surely tough In my separate reality - sorry there's only room for me In my separate reality - sorry there's only room for me, for me Sorry there's only room for me
