Open Up - Jay-Jay Johanson

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)
