Metaphors (for now I guess)

Speaking in metaphors
I find it hard to say the truth
Cover it up some more
Maybe a folly of my youth

What if my skin was the ocean
And my hair was the breeze
Maybe it would all roll over me
With such a comical ease

'Cause if I'm someone else then I'm not here
And if I'm not here I may as well disappear
And if I disappear I have no cause to fear
'Cause if I'm someone else than I'm not here

I was hoping for an ending
Where I would know what's right
Where shades of grey won't bother me
And I won't waste my time

And maybe I've had my eyes closed
I've surely been asleep
Dreaming in shades of black and white
Despite the colour TV

'Cause if I'm someone else then I'm not here
And if I'm not here I may as well disappear
And if I disappear I have no cause to fear
'Cause if I'm someone else than I'm not here

And did you think I would say it
That I'd open up my mouth?
Did you think I was praying
For things to go south?
Well I don't know now
Can't think my way out
I'm sorry boys, didn't mean to let you down

'Cause if I'm someone else then I'm not here
And if I'm not here I may as well disappear
And if I disappear I have no cause to fear
'Cause if I'm someone else than I'm not here
