LYRICS
I'm afraid letting someone get into my brain to break my chain
Explain in vain again
What I really think
Put it down in ink
Getting different looks
Hiding in my books
Not the same in their eyes
Putting on a disguise
Telling lies after lies and it's easy to my surprise
No one dies when I do something wrong
No one cries when I'm singing my song

You're born into a system selling you wisdom
This time don't be a prisoner
Listen! I’m telling you now
Can we be free without feeling lost?
Low and alone, you see, that's our cost

Going through the motions absently
Thinking about another fantasy
Follow the mass or pave your path
You better take a risk as long as you don't crash

No one dies when I do something wrong
No one cries when I'm singing my song

Running away from the unpleasant question
Learning today another hard earned lesson
Some will say it's bad and hides depression
Some will say it’s good and rids aggression

I better focus on the goal and overcome distraction
Gonna make a plan today and I will chase my passion
Gonna keep on saying all these things until they stick
Keep on going, keep on trying it, when you all sleep

You're born into a system selling you wisdom
This time don't be a prisoner
Listen! I’m telling you now
Can we be free without feeling lost?
Low and alone, you see, that's our cost

Going through the motions absently
Thinking about another fantasy
Follow the mass or pave your path
You better take a risk as long as you don't crash
