thought i could fake this thing alright
thought it could somehow get me by
watching the doctors as they slide
needles into my eye

thought i could finally get around
laughable symptoms keep me down
faces i see all keep me blind
now their redemptions mine

now that i cant exchange actions for words
now that i found these inside fears the worst
now that i know theres no place left to hide
can i become all i thought i might

as the leaders who follow the path of
whoever was standing round them,
call to say what im missing
and into a detail they always go
dont believe them but offer codolences under
the circumstances
all to often im missing the spirit to fit in so call me out call me out

thought i could soundly sleep tonight
positive clear and breathing right
panic attack, panic attacks me now
seems like a fair redemption

now that i cant exchange actions for words
now that i found these inside fears the worst
now that i know theres no place left to hide
can i become all i thought i might

as the leaders who follow the path of
whoever was standing round them,
call to say what im missing
and into a detail they always go
dont believe them but offer condolences under
the circumstances
all to often im missing the spirit to fit in so call me out call me out

now that i cant exchange actions for words
now that i found these inside fears the worst
now that i know theres no place left to hide
can i become all i thought i might

as the leaders who follow the path of
whoever was standing round them,
call to say what im missing
and into a detail they always go
dont believe them but offer condolences under
the circumstances
all to often im missing the spirit to fit in so call me out call me out again

thought i could fake this thing alright
thought it could somehow get me by
watching the doctors as they slide
a needle in my eye my eye
a needle in my eye
