lyrics

Who am I
You tell me
I do know what I want
But it's not real and that's not my fault
Still I blame myself when I cry
From this from this cruel mind
I say say on the inside
It's only me to be blamed for being petrified

Hey yey they don't know what we're saying
Hey yey so why do we even pretend yeah
That we're part of them
I sit in the dark go out and wander in the park at night
Never knowing what's around the corner
In my mind I am always wanting a fight yeah

Say what you saw
It ain't no law
To hide yourself under injustice
But tell me tell me what trust is
Been trying to find out what's on the other side
Stop complaining stop hiding in your mind
Tonight

Hey yey they don't know what we're saying
Hey yey so why do we even pretend yeah
That we're part of them
I sit in the dark go out and wander in the park at night
Never knowing what's around the corner
In my mind I am always wanting a fight yeah

We're alone
We sit in these homes
Struggling to cope with our time
Paying more pretending that everything's fine
I'm trying to search for the earth
But it's not beneath my feet and that's only clear to me

Hey yey they don't know what we're saying
Hey yey so why do we even pretend yeah
That we're part of them
I sit in the dark go out and wander in the park at night
Never knowing what's around the corner
In my mind I am always wanting a fight yeah

I've had enough falling out the sky
I've had enough riding on a lie
I've had enough listening to the voice
I've had enough this was never my choice

Hey yey they don't know what we're saying
Hey yey so why do we even pretend yeah
That we're part of them
I sit in the dark go out and wander in the park at night
Never knowing what's around the corner
In my mind I am always wanting a fight yeah
Tonight
