I Tried to Leave a Message
I tried to leave a message
I tried to let them know
All they heard was vanity
There was no good I could show
I tried to live those words, I thought that they were true
But it only seems to lead to my insanity
A message in a bottle
See it floating out to sea
It's just a message in a bottle
That's for anyone but me
Now, I try to take direction
But my rudder's swinging free
Leaves my vessel shuddering in circles
I'm dialing up a number
Now I listen to it ring
It's a number picked at random
It's as good as anything
I hear somebody answer, so predictably hello
It's as good as any other conversation
Oh, you could say that I'm a cynic
Sometimes cynicism's truth
You might say I've lost my innocence
You haven't any proof
Only sometimes in the deep of night, sometimes when it's dark
You'd never even know I'm the same person
I tried to leave a message
Of my signature in braille
An unsighted man discovered it
Read it back in voice mail
Disguises through the ages, names we've passed along
Pronunciations nobody remembers
I tried to leave a message
I tried to let them know
All they heard was vanity
There was no good I could show
I tried to live those words, I thought that they were true
But it only seems to lead to my insanity
I tried to let them know
All they heard was vanity
There was no good I could show
I tried to live those words, I thought that they were true
But it only seems to lead to my insanity
A message in a bottle
See it floating out to sea
It's just a message in a bottle
That's for anyone but me
Now, I try to take direction
But my rudder's swinging free
Leaves my vessel shuddering in circles
I'm dialing up a number
Now I listen to it ring
It's a number picked at random
It's as good as anything
I hear somebody answer, so predictably hello
It's as good as any other conversation
Oh, you could say that I'm a cynic
Sometimes cynicism's truth
You might say I've lost my innocence
You haven't any proof
Only sometimes in the deep of night, sometimes when it's dark
You'd never even know I'm the same person
I tried to leave a message
Of my signature in braille
An unsighted man discovered it
Read it back in voice mail
Disguises through the ages, names we've passed along
Pronunciations nobody remembers
I tried to leave a message
I tried to let them know
All they heard was vanity
There was no good I could show
I tried to live those words, I thought that they were true
But it only seems to lead to my insanity
