be yourself

Someone falls to pieces,
sleeping all alone.
Someone kills the pain,
spinning in the silence
to finally drift away.
Someone gets excited
in a chapel yard,
catches a bouquet.
Another lays a dozen
white roses on a grave.

To be yourself is all that you can do...

Someone finds salvation in everyone,
and another only pain.
Someone tries to hide himself,
down inside himself he prays.
Someone swears his true love
until the end of time,
another runs away.
Separate or united?
Healthy or insane?

To be yourself is all that you can do...

And even when you've paid enough, been pulled apart or been held up.
With every single memory of the good or bad, faces of luck
don't lose any sleep tonight,
I'm sure everything will end up alright.
You may win or lose.

But to be yourself is all that you can do,
To be yourself is all that you can do...

Be yourself - Audioslave.
