Let Babylon Burn - Becoming My Own Stranger

Doesn't trust his own damn head,
Every time he thinks he's found a way he loses something else instead.
He wants to be a hero, but he don't know what that takes,
Every road to something better brings him back to his mistakes.
He'd give everything to something if he knew which thing was his,
But he gives a little more away each time he thinks it is.
Puts his money on another future,
Signs before his nerve gives out,
