I open up
stand here alone
totally naked
fully revealed
I show you all
there is to see
I can not hide
anything now

these are my knees
these are my hands
I may be skin I may be bones
never the less
I am the same
as I was then
I´m just a man

but don´t give me your sympathy
you know it doesn´t mean that much to me
but don´t give me your sympathy
I don´t need it anymore

living is art
like everything else
I´ve got my skills
I do it well
so it feels real
or feels like hell
but if it kills I can not tell

but don´t give me your sympathy
you know it doesn´t mean that much to me
but don´t give me your sympathy
I don´t need it anymore

I open up
stand here alone
fully revealed I show you all
there is to see
I can not hide
anything now

but don´t give me your sympathy
you know it doesn´t mean that much to me
but don´t give me your sympathy
I don´t need it anymore (2)
