[Verse 1]
I wanna be more real than all the others
I wanna be more real than all the rest
I wanna be so real, you can see the difference
All of the places that we never went before
All of the times that we never had

[Chorus]
I wanna know how you see you

[Chorus]
I wanna know how you see you
The world is not enough, I want your brutal truth
I wanna know how you see you
The world is not enough, I want your brutal truth
[Verse 3]
The finest attributes of an amputee
Something to eat instead of what you need to feed
One day closer than the last
No more or less dead than the last second past
[Chorus]
I wanna know how you see you
The world is not enough, I want your brutal truth
I wanna know how you see you
The world is not enough, I want your brutal truth
