I sorta like deceiving
And all this tragic loss
I wanna find some patience
But kill the feelings off
I wanna drown in praise
But never really deliver
I wanna feel insane, insane
So long to go, you know
No matter how I cling to life
I'm not fooling anyone
I'm not original anymore
I'm not original anymore
And when the well is dead and dry
I'll keep begging you to start a war
Oh, I'm not original anymore
I'm not original anymore
Do I start it over
Before I self-destruct?
What's the perfect way to say I'm lost? I just give up
Yeah, I wanna try and change (I wanna try and change)
The vanity in the mirror
I know you feel the same, insane
So long to go, you know
No matter how I cling to life
I'm not fooling anyone
I'm not original anymore
I'm not original anymore
And when the well is dead and dry
I'll keep begging you to start a war
Oh, I'm not original anymore
I'm not original anymore
I'm not original anymore
One by one, they fall
Use your words for war
Chasing open doors
For what it's worth
No matter how I cling to life
I'm not fooling anyone
I'm not original anymore
I'm not original anymore
And when the well is dead and dry
I'll keep begging you to start a war
I'm not original anymore
I'm not original anymore
And all this tragic loss
I wanna find some patience
But kill the feelings off
I wanna drown in praise
But never really deliver
I wanna feel insane, insane
So long to go, you know
No matter how I cling to life
I'm not fooling anyone
I'm not original anymore
I'm not original anymore
And when the well is dead and dry
I'll keep begging you to start a war
Oh, I'm not original anymore
I'm not original anymore
Do I start it over
Before I self-destruct?
What's the perfect way to say I'm lost? I just give up
Yeah, I wanna try and change (I wanna try and change)
The vanity in the mirror
I know you feel the same, insane
So long to go, you know
No matter how I cling to life
I'm not fooling anyone
I'm not original anymore
I'm not original anymore
And when the well is dead and dry
I'll keep begging you to start a war
Oh, I'm not original anymore
I'm not original anymore
I'm not original anymore
One by one, they fall
Use your words for war
Chasing open doors
For what it's worth
No matter how I cling to life
I'm not fooling anyone
I'm not original anymore
I'm not original anymore
And when the well is dead and dry
I'll keep begging you to start a war
I'm not original anymore
I'm not original anymore

I believe this song to be about looking into one's self to find one's true core. Pretending to be fully present & alive in life & actually being so are two different things. This to me is about learning not to deceive others with what you present them with, the same old lies will get you nowhere. Becoming the original, authentic 'you' is what will help to better define who you really are in the eyes of others.
