Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Is happiness real?
Or am I so jaded
Can't see or feel
Like a man been tainted
Numbed by the effect
Aware of the muse
Too in touch with myself
I light the fuse
[Verse 2]
I'm the changingman
Whoa, built on shifting sands
Yeah, I'm the changingman
Whoa, I'm waiting for the bang
As I light a better fuse
[Verse 3]
Our time is on loan
Only ours to borrow, I know
What I can't be today
I can be tomorrow, yeah
[Verse 4]
The more I see
The more I know
The more I know
The less I understand
[Verse 5]
I'm the changingman
Built on shifting sands, yeah
I'm the changingman
I'm waiting for the bang
To light a better fuse
[Verse 6]
Bigger part, uh
When our instincts act
A shot in the dark
A movement in black, yeah
[Verse 7]
The more I see
The more I know
The more I know
The less I understand, yeah
[Verse 8]
(I'm the changingman) Yeah
Built on shifting sands
(I don't have a plan)
I'm the changingman
Waiting for the bang
As I light a better fuse
(I'm the changingman)
Built on shifting sands, hey
I'm the changingman
Waiting for the bang
To light a better fuse, yeah
[Verse 9]
(Yeah)
(Yeah)
