^^^^^^^^^^^ palm mute
arpeggiate chords throughout first section):
You better listen anybody
'Cause I'm gonna make it clear
That my life is unimportant
What I've done I did through fear
There's a river running thru me
Only tide I tried to hide
None the less I could not shake it
And in the end it swept aside
All my feeble unimportance
I can't say "never mind"
Can't you hear me mother calling you?
I'm cold, I'm deaf, I'm blind
And it's only 'cause you're lucky
People know that's no fine
I didn't think I'd be an actor
What I am I'll leave behind
You better listen anybody
Cause it's me and you that's it
And in case you find your maker
Perhaps you'll plea for us a bit
All my sick is in my stomach
All my sweat is clearly fear
And if you could see inside me
I don't think you'd have me here
Tell the helmsman veer to starboard
Bring this ship around to port
And if the sea was not so salty
I could sink instead of walk
And in case a passing stranger
Who was standing where I fell
Tell the truth you never knew me
And in truth it's just as well
