I don't love, I don't give, I don't care' cause I've already been there I don't want, I don't need, I don't take, 'cause I had it all I don't guess, I just know, what this is, is a place to die from I am not what you see, you are real but not for real I'm not scared, I'm not high, I'm a man and I'm all right We are here, we are gone, and the rest are left to wonder What is life, in the hand of illusion, what is life to a man in confusion What is right, for a life that is losin', what is time, what is, what is, what is? Take look, open up, look inside, what is there In your heart, in your mind, in your soul there's the answer Why you want, why you need, the side effects of what you see What is life, in the hand of illusion What is life, to a man in confusion What is right for a life that is losin', what is time, what is, what is, what is? I don't pay, I just know what this is,
