This is the part of your life they don't teach at school

It doesn't look cool

But if you're a kid like me, it's not hard to see how the world can be

Looking through a coward's eyes

Under a disguise

So they'll think you're not out of your mind



They'll save your words

Just to put you straight back down, it's an evil town

Where thoughts are broken, screams are spoken

This town's my head, and I've been mislead

To think about overthinking what I've said

But I never said nothing

Nor I ever said something



Why'd I, why'd I have to go

Saying things for show

So my mouth hides who I am

Now it's time to see, we are all alone

Nowhere to call home

So I'll pack and run away

But sleep's great refuge for today



I'm anything but social, but my tongue remains brave

Since it's always finding words and phrases that I need to save

From saying, keep them hidden or the words might die

Because I'm just another human trying harder not to lie

Everybody's tripping and slipping around the earth

While we're cashing in our money just to look at what we're worth

But we're not worth nothing

No, everybody's worth a little more



Why'd I, why'd I have to go

Saying things for show

So my mouth hides who I am

Now it's time to see, we are all alone

Nowhere to call home

So I'll pack and run away

But sleep's great refuge for today



I'll watch the world by day

In a cowards hideaway

But every night I sit in fright, too scared to run away

I'll shout what I conceal

These dreams will help me heal

Until my screams invade my dreams

Nightmares aren't what they seem



I've been climbing up a tree to count all the different coloured leaves left out

Its just another way of saying it's okay

Our mouths are shut but we've got things to say



Why

Why'd I have to go?

Saying things for show

So my mouth hides who I am



Why'd I, why'd I have to go

Saying things for show

So my mouth hides who I am

Now it's time to see, we are all alone

Nowhere to call home

So I'll pack and run away

But sleep's great refuge for today
