They tell me that I'm an
old soul
that I'm wise beyond my years
that I understand the world better than
others
or have some unique perspective about life
But nothing could be further from the
truth
Yes, I've learned much from slaying my demons
Yes, I've grown wise from
the heartbreak I've endured
Yes, I've got a new spirit pumping through my heart
But I
am still bound
I am still bound by the tears of my humanity
still chained by my own foolish
heart
and I am still forever frozen by the fires that burn within
All of my wisdom
as
little as it is
hasn't bought me an ounce of freedom
a single smile
or an ounce of
happiness or satisfaction
all it has done for me is make my foolishness clearer
and show
me the errors of my ways
If you seek a wise man
don't waste your time with
me
Find some grinning idiot
and ask him the secret of his success
Me, I have
nothing to show you
nothing to offer you
and nothing to teach you
but countless
heartaches
earned through millions of mistakes
So don't come to me for
wisdom
nor ask me to show you the way
I'm no old soul
and I'm certainly not
wise
because even though I see the world
through its many masks and ambiguities
I
still can't comprehend
the mysteries of a simple smile
