"Bow Out" lyrics - EELS

A lot of what she said and much of what she did
I don't doubt that she meant well while drifting and wounded
But it's a game she plays, a game I'd never win
Those days aren't coming back to change the state I'm in.

In the darkness I forgot that the game was all about
Making up reality and jealousy and doubt
I bow out.

Everything I am or what I used to be
Is not part of the hollow shell of a man that you see
All the time unsure, all my days a waste
Never knowing where I stood much less which way I face.

In the darkness I forgot that the game was all about
Making up reality and jealousy and doubt
I bow out.
