Overcoming obstacles   To show what were worth  That sad knife struck closer   To home than i thought  Seeking acceptance from you   Is too much to ask  My glance will topple you down    This pocket full of empty lies  Picture all that we despise  Stripped and polished for you my friend  Stripped and polished for you my friend    Stepping over yesterday  When things were okay  There's no excuse for you   To say the things you did  But the story's changed  The ending has a twist  And a broken home is all i have to show    This pocket full of empty lies  Picture all that we despise  Stripped and polished for you my friend  Stripped and polished for you my friend    Stripped and polished for you my friend  Stripped and polished for you my friend  Stripped and polished for you my friend  Stripped and polished for you my friend    This pocket full of empty lies  Picture all that we despise  Stripped and polished for you my friend  Stripped and polished for you my friend
