s waiting for

treets.
              
              

             
 And every tim

ned my self to

   
 face me
              
              

           
      But I've

              
 never caught 

  
a glimpse
              
              

              
   Of how the 

           
others must se

      
e the fa- ker

[Verse 2]
              
              

             
   I watch the

         
 ripples chang

e their size

 stream

ru my eyes

       And the

       
se children th

        
at you spit on
