lyrics

I found out the house around me
Is built out of faith in deceit
And these walls they don't come for cheap
So strange to strangers near home
Ideally convenient to some
But I know I won't join the herd
In single file rows

Dear child, you said you wanted proof
A page has been torn out of the history books
You think that we'd just give this truth to you?
It's easier not to
Instead you live your life on someone else's time
It's degrading my soul and wasting my mind
Sometimes I feel like I'll explode
And fall apart become someone I don't know
And spare me from, just spare me from your hold
And with a little more air then surely I'd become
Into someone I could at least stand
A self-fulfilling man

Oh, no! I think I can! I think I can!
But sometimes I feel like I won't

When it rains, it pours!
You won't even see where it came from
The eye of the storm shakes you down to your bones
When it rains, it pours!
You won't even see where it came from
The eye of the storm shakes you down to your bones
Down to your bones!

There are moments I feel hopeless
Like my window is getting smaller with each day
I count the seconds out of frame
What am I thinking?
I can do better
No way that they will bury me
I'm climbing out this grave and straight towards destiny

What was I thinking!?
I can do better!
No way that they will bury me! Oh!
Even if I feel like I'll explode
and fall apart become someone I don't know!
And spare me from! Just spare me from your choke!
With a little more air then surely I'd become
Into someone I could at least stand
A self-fulfilling man

Oh, no! I think I can! I know I can!
And even when I'm told I won't!
Even when I'm told...
Told that I won't!
