[Verse 1]
I am the searcher of my fortunes
I've got my right hand on the wheel
We've got to dig the buried treasures
I know, exactly how I feel
[Chorus]
Don't want to live inside myself
I'm much better off alone
But then you must believe
In the falling rain
[Refrain]
Don't wanna live inside myself
Don't wanna live inside myself
Don't wanna live inside myself
[Verse 2]
I went walking through a graveyard
Where the darkness is my friend
I heard all about the beginning
I wanna see just where it ends
[Chorus]
[Refrain]
[Verse 3]
I have fed the jaded tiger
And every tiger knows my name
But just as long, as long as I can see my face
I can tell myself my name
[Chorus]
[Refrain / Coda] repeat x3
