Rottin' Apple Lyrics - Strung Out

Hey tired man I see you walk alone. 

The wrinkles on you face, a map 

Of all your pain 

Your expression becomes an open book 

Of time, filled with pages of forgotten hopes. 

Good intentions, regret, disillusion with 

Life, animosity, unbridled purity. 

All these things I swear I see 

And your eyes tell me all you could never be. 

So many times I've stared 

Into the eyes of the young, the old. 

The lonely and the wise. 

Just to find a glimpse of all I 

Have not seen 

Just to find some peace for my 

Jaded made. 

Don't wanna live my life by 

the second hand of a clock that's 

Long since past me by 

You say I've got to stay in line 

We'll your line is going nowhere and 

So are you. 

Choices decisions made smokin' away 

The pain inside 

Sit back and watch it all go by 

We could never find the peace 

Of mind we need 

We hid it all away for another day 

Sit back everything's gonna be alright. 

Rivers of pain map your agin' 

Skin your expression a journal 

Of where you've been 

All your dreams and your chances lost 

You walk along that dotted line 

Do you remember a time 

When you used to dream? 

Do you remember a time when 

You used to Live? 

All your dreams and chances they're 

All gone. 

So you gave it all away unable 

to say all you wanna say 

Look at you now - turned our to be 

Face of misery 

Look at you now a rottin Apple's all I see.
