Put me in quotes

Why am I always a joke?

Can't I be real this time?

Who am I supposed to be this time?

Can I be real this time?

Back to where I began

Pull me in close

Hour hands, moments frozen

I need more than I ever really know

Watch me as I roll, said the eyes

Back to the first square

Pull me in close

Closer than you've ever been before

The question is are you ever really sure?

Are you embarrassed?

Maybe you're embarrassed

Maybe you're afraid

Of existing within

All I've ever wanted is to be recognized for what I may be

But that may or may not be up to you

The more I care, the more I care to forget

Decide what I may be

Get a rise out of tumbling me down the side of your crumbling mountain
