lyrics

My life existed in my mind,
And now I'm scared because I'm really alive.
I'm becoming someone who scares me.
I'm becoming someone I've always wanted to be.

But I can't enjoy it.
I'm terrified.
I wanna give everyone everything I have to be.

It's a quiet life that I'll lead.
I'm always gonna have what I need.
I'll push it down-
Down, down, down deep,
But I'm always gonna want to be freed
From everything I need.

She takes me by the hand.
She says "I really love your band.
I know you, but you don't know me."
What in the hell is any of this supposed to mean?

That's not me.
It's what I hate-
It's what I need.
Let's get drunk let's just dance I wanna forget
Everything about what I still am but I'm clinging to it.

It's a quiet life that I'll lead.
I'm always gonna have what I need.
I'll push it down-
Down, down, down deep,
But I'm always gonna want to be freed
From everything I need.
