I am, you are So close, yet so far away From our original face I know you know That no one else could Possibly show us our original face We are all as wild as the lions in the forest And if you don't believe me it's only because you've learned to ignore it But you're not the only one Clouds are masking the sun So on a day like today When the clouds are out Is the sun still in the sky? And do the rays Breaking through them prove it Like love peeking through cloudy eyes? Let it rain, let the expectations fall And once you do that, you can begin to forget it all We are all as wild as coyotes in the forest And if you don't believe me it's only because you've learned to ignore it
But you'll remember soon And you'll be howling at the moon So come now, take a trip down memory lane Into predictable cla**rooms and chairs holding pencils that all look the same And when you get the urge to laugh, to shout, to dance, or to play The teacher would say, "Hush child, and exercise your brain." And then we became numb, Numb numb, numb numb, oh And then we became numb, Numb numb, numb numb Oh, we became numb, Numb numb, numb numb, N-n-n-numb, n-n-numb numb N-n-n-numb, n-n-numb numb numb But we are all as wild as the lions in the forest And if you don't believe me it's only because you've learned to ignore it You're not the only one Clouds are masking the sun
