[verse] The rough calloused hand sweeping across blue clicky keyboard is mine but it's been such a long time since I even identified with the man that they connect to I've done so much thinking as this perfect blue-haired woman from Kyoto That I've forgotten why the body I'm in feels so foreign to me in a city that's foreign to me can't you see? [chorus] Questioning who I am? That I am That I am Used to be this boring Midwestern Man Who had a dream of what he could be if only he could leave his dying desolate and decaying rust-belt city [verse] And now here I am, but I'm not out on the marquee and none of them are screaming for me It's a shame It's a shame When I hear them shouting her name I know they're talking about me But they'd sooner spit in my face than greet me If only they knew all that I could do I've given them nothing but proof But the fans want to hear what they want to see and when I look in the mirror it's not the face I see. [chorus] Questioning who I am? That I am That I am Used to be this boring Midwestern Man Who had a dream of what he could be if only he could leave his dying desolate and decaying rust-belt city [solo] Questioning who I am? That I am That I am Used to be this boring Midwestern Man Who had a dream of what he could be if only he could leave his dying desolate and decaying... [verse] The glowing screen of my old CRT Projecting a blue-light on to me My friends type 8 and 1 on their touch tone phones but I don't answer I'm not alone I found a ship on this digital sea but when it sinks they won't save me cause I'm not the woman I think I am to all of them I'm just a Midwestern man but if I close my eyes I can dream that what you see is the woman that's plastered on your screen [chorus] Questioning who I am? That I am That I am Used to be this boring Midwestern Man Who had a dream of what he could be if only he could leave his dying desolate and decaying rust-belt city [outro] Mmmm, Rust-belt city Mmmm, Rust-belt city Why didn't you believe in me? Mmmm, Rust-belt city Mmmm, Rust-belt city Why didn't you believe in me?
