I've got the portrait hanging around
in the picture frame
In the halfway house on life
we're not the same

Time draws a narrow streak
I'm just your average freak
I made a deal with life
I'm known around the world

I'm not the one with the open wound
you're just protection for the righteous kind
I'm not the one with an open wound
you're just protection for the righteous kind
righteous kind...

And of a world of trouble
I've got the hopeful freed
Made a deal with life
I know that nothing's real
My cataclystic thoughts
the mother of my dreams
You friend betrayed my smoke screen
I'm wrapped around your screams

There's a portrait hanging around
in the picture frame
In the halfway house on life
and I'm not the same

I'm not the one with the open wound
you're just protection for the righteous kind
I'm not the one with an open wound
you're just protection for the righteous kind
