lyrics:

i was pulling out my hair
the day i cut the deal
chemically calm
was i meant to feel
happy that my life
was just about to change?

one life pretending to be
the cat who got the cream
oh, everybody said "marina is a dreamer"
people like to tell you what you're gonna be

it's not my problem
if you don't see what i see
and i do not give a damn
if you don't believe

my problem, it's my problem
that i never am happy
it's my problem, it's my problem
on how fast i will succeed

are you satisfied
with an average life?
do i need to lie
to make my way in life?

high achiever, don't you see?
baby, nothing comes for free
they say i'm a control freak
driven by a greed to succeed
nobody can stop me

'cause it's my problem
if i wanna pack up and run away
it's my business if i feel the need
to smoke and drink and sway

it's my problem, it's my problem
if i feel the need to hide
and it's my problem if i have no friends
and feel i want to die

are you satisfied
with an average life?
do i need to lie
to make my way in life?
are you satisfied
with an easy ride?
once you cross the line
will you be satisfied?

sad inside
in this life
unsatisfied
praying

sad inside
in this life
unsatisfied
waiting

are you satisfied
with an average life?
do i need to lie
to make my way in life?
are you satisfied
with an easy ride?
once you cross the line
will you be satisfied?
