Lyrics

And just who are you, anyway  
The question comes yet once again  
With absolute uncertainty   
You're living out the life of ten   
See that reflection in the window  
The cover of a magazine 
You think that clears it up somehow  
And just what's that supposed to mean   
There is nothing to be frightened for  
And everything to fear, and more  
You've no idea, I've no idea  
And nothing renders nothing clear  
I knew that it was preordained  
To make this journey on my own  
With towering mentors far behind  
I'll storm these castle walls alone  
(Music)
And I honour those that bear the signs  
Not of marketing's design  
But those truly feel the sting   
That truly are the songs they sing   
Oh God, as I approach the gate  
And as I lay me down to tape  
Protect me from my sense of self  
Keep my motives clear and straight  
Do not forgive me should I fail  
There is no life after the sale  
(Music)
And it does not matter why I'm here  
I really do not need to know  
I will trust that there's a deeper plan  
Than anything that I've been shown   
For better or for worse,Despite
the triumph, failure, love, despair   
I'm moving with the speed of light  
Blowing wildly through my hair   
Don't worry about me, I'm doing fine  
I'll be ok outside the lines  
Just watch for me when this is done  
In the still where wars resign   
Do not look for me in angry seas  
Beyond the storm is where I'll be   
And know that, as I drift away   
It was my choosing in the end  
To live the life of ten

And just who are you, anyway  
The question comes yet once again  
With absolute uncertainty   
You' re living out the life of ten   
See that reflection in the window  
The cover of a magazine 
You think that clears it up somehow  
And just what' s that supposed to mean   
There is nothing to be frightened for  
And everything to fear, and more  
You' ve no idea, I' ve no idea  
And nothing renders nothing clear  
I knew that it was preordained  
To make this journey on my own  
With towering mentors far behind  
I' ll storm these castle walls alone  
Music
And I honour those that bear the signs

And as I lay me down to tape  
Protect me from my sense of self  
Keep my motives clear and straight  
Do not forgive me should I fail
