I'm so sick of people telling me I only believe Because it's what I've been taught all my life But how hard is it to believe That I can make up my own mind? That my parents got some things right I choose what's right I choose what I see as truth in my life It doesn't matter where it came from And it doesn't make you better than me Ignore the fact that not everyone who's living this out Started out that way But it's all I hear you say Most of my friends had to abandon The earlier parts of their life To get things straight To get things right It's not my fault I was born around it I've been singing these songs Since my very first Sunday I'll be singing these songs Until the day I die

When everything's okay And nothing's wrong We can't tell the difference Between the night and the light of day And why do I get trampled down For trying to take a stand? Why do I get broken down For trying to be a better man? But I could see how it's coming down our way I could see how people play this game And I know that things can't stay the same But I could see how it's coming down our way I wonder if in thirty years I'll still be standing here And be able to lift my head without any shame I know the tide is rising I know but I keep on trying To stay true to what I know To hold fast and not let go When everything's okay I can't tell the difference

I am here So are they But somehow we're not in the same place The things People do It's lonely knowing the truth It's lonely knowing the truth I'm on my side and I'm taking my fight But there's no one else around I found my light in the dark outside And they want me to shut it down Everyone can't love the same things But I know we all want to It's lonely, it's lonely knowing the truth I have found What I need And no one else can see I can wait for you But it's lonely knowing the truth It's lonely knowing the truth What a burden to bear Oh, woe is me A martyr dying alone Is there anyone who will listen? I'm forced to walk on my own Just hear me out, hear me now

Sleep 03:54
You come up and say to me You can't believe this happening And ask me things I've said a hundred times I could tell you everything Just a reminder of how I'm feeling And the conversation quickly runs dry It's been pounding all this time Maybe I don't want to see you cry Life's full of tragedy A few smiles in between And this is exactly where I don't want to be All alone in my room at night In my bed with all the lights Because we both know that I can't sleep We both know that I can't sleep I guess you do this every time I just lie, say I'm alright But I'm out for the first time this week You tell me things will be just fine How many times have I heard that line? I just don't want to feel what I'm feeling Maybe I don't want to think about what's happening Maybe I just need a little time Maybe you should stop talking to me Maybe I already know that I'll be fine That I'll be fine
