Magellan


Overplayed and understated 
Maximized and underrated 
Overdrawn and overstated 
What about the truth -what about it? 

Minimized, overemphasized 
Exaggerated just to dramatize 
There's a whole lot more than fame here 
And a whole lot more to money 

Ok, I've made my point now speak up 
Let's hear what you have to say 
Just give it to me hard - give it to me straight 
Tell me I'm wrong about everything 

Overblown and sinking fast 
Underfoot and overcast 
Make a future with the past 
What am I to do -what about it? 

Overgrown, contemplated 
Overloaded, captivated 
In a deadly serious game 
With a healthy dose of overkill 

Whoever said the best things are free 
Wasn't around -That never made sense to me 
-'Cause after living… 
In a way, I'd have to say nothing ever came cheap 
So that just can't be… 

I am not the only one that lost it 
Some things just have to be said 
Now I'd like to make it up to you 
Pick up the pieces…if you'll let me 

Ok, I've made my point now speak up 
Let's hear what you have to say 
Just give it to me hard - give it to me straight 
Tell me I'm wrong about everything… 

No time for introductions -no time at all 
Listen… 

Undermanned and overcharged 
Understood and over farmed 
Under where? Undertaker. 
-Bet he knows the truth, he'll tell you 
"Underground, underhanded 
Only so much time is granted" 
I never said that I had the answers 
I never said I knew the truth 

But I know if you're gonna die 
You might as well - you might as well 
Really try and live 
Well, maybe that's all there is to it.

How can we replace what we had at home? 
Fame will not love you the way I do… 
When it's gone.
