I Don't Even Know Myself

There's nothing in the way I walk

That could tell you where I'm going

There's nothing in the words I speak

That can betray anything I'm knowing

Don't think about the way I dress

You can't fit me on a labeled shelf

Don't pretend that you know me

'Cause I don't even know myself

Ooh, I don't know myself

I don't mind if you try, once in a while

I don't mind if I cry, once in a while

The doors aren't shut as tight as they might seem

I'm just trying to fight my way out of this dream

Don't listen to the words I say

Weighing up if I'm enlightened

Don't shiver as you pass me by

'Cause mister, I'm the one who's frightened

The police just came and left

They wanted me and no one else

Don't pretend that you know me

'Cause I don't even know myself

I said, I don't know myself

I don't mind if you try, once in a while

I don't mind if I cry, once in a while

The doors aren't shut as tight as they might seem

I'm just trying to fight my way out of this dream

Do you remember me?

I don't remember you

Do you still love me?

You know I think you do

I have been gone

Then some prison warden knows my scream

I'm just trying to fight my way out of this dream, yeah

There's only five who know my real name

And my mother don't believe they know it

What she called me is the way I'm staying

And no one'll ever know it

Come on, all of you big boys

Come on, all of you elves

Don't pretend that you know me

'Cause I don't even know myself

I said, I don't know myself

I don't mind if you try, once in a while

And I don't mind if I cry, once in a while
