Stripped of all my pride.

That's the only way to describe what I'm feeling right now.

Stripped of everything. My emotions have been put on display for all to see.

And what makes it worse, is that both of us refuse to talk about them.

--Waited a long time for this, feels right now

Allow me to introduce myself, want you to come a little closer

I'd like you to get to know me a little better, meet the real me--

It's not so much of a refusal, it's more of a agreeing to not talk about it.

But how can we not talk about something that both of us want more than life itself.

Why do we have to love?

Why do we even have to feel, or care?

--Sorry you can't define me, sorry I break the mold

Sorry that I speak my mine, sorry don't do what I'm told

Sorry if I don't fake it, sorry I come too real

I will never hide what I really feel, no way oh--

I say I've been stripped of my pride, and I have.

I've been made a fool all because of what I feel.

I'm sure the others would tell you differently, but they don't understand.

No one ever does. Or will for that matter.

--So here it is, no hype, no glass, no pretense

Just me

Stripped--

Stripped of all my pride.

That's the only way to describe what I'm feeling right now.

I know it's incredibly short, but I had to get something off my chest, and I can't work very much with the introduction to the CD. But I would still love to know what you think.

Reviewing would be the wise thing to do now.
