Lyric What Little Remains

In the rites of passage I did partake
But to say that I m responsible would be a mistake
What do I have to do
To prove myself to you
In a manner of speaking
You ve taken all the finest pieces
And that doesn t leave me much to pick and choose
Now I ll have to be satisfied
With what little remains

You condemn me for the things that I say
But they don t seem to affect you at all anyway
Why can t you let it be
I don t suppose that you ll ever see
Exactly what makes me
Do all the things that I do
And believe me when a say I have my reasons
I have only tried to utilize
What little remains

You expect so much
And I accept so little
You re at war with yourself
And I m stuck in the middle of it all

Though you pressure me I will not give in
You can yell and scream and say I have spread myself too thin
Wait a minute before you shout
Do you know who you re talking about
Are you referring to me
Or is it yourself that can t deal with
Do I stimulate a memory
Too close to home or could it be
That I m becoming what you used to be?

I will leave no scars no marks or no stains
I will try to make the best of it what little remains
