Does my record show

That I’m damaged, disfigured with my faults exposed?

Cast your judgement aside for once

Stay close, and take a second glance

Forgive all the things that I can’t change

These stones have been cast in advance

Before you knew my name

Flawed, and therefore labeled from the start

Maybe I haven’t kept my hands clean but no one can decide where I belong

Draw all your conclusions from afar

But naming everybody guilty will only bring to light your own faults

I don’t want to know

What happens through the grapevine you've struggled to grow

Keep your thoughts inside for once

Wake up and take another stance

Let go of all the things you fabricate

To hide you from the blame

Flawed, and therefore labeled from the start

Maybe I haven’t kept my hands clean but no one can decide where I belong

Draw all your conclusions from afar

But naming everybody guilty will only bring to light your own faults

Your words don’t sound the same in person
