Turn me on and face me to the world 

Back me up far enough 

So I can watch and learn how I'm supposed to be 

Through these eyes in my head 

Life begins the wheels start to spin around 



Don't live in fantasies 

Just be on your way 

Here's a list of all your priorities 

Make us proud to say: 

We're the parents of a good machine 

Keep your eyes straight ahead 

Take your vitamins like we said 

You'll be fine 

I guess your first test is to see how you can fit in 



Finally I feel like I'm alive 

I was nothing but a dream in disguise 

I was silent before now I finally get to say 

How I see it all so strange 

My destiny is on a timeline with fate 

Let me dream awhile 

For the chance of a life to be 



Nine to five now systems overload 

Just trying to get by living in the mode: 

Work first then find the time 

To drink it away 

To try and hide depressions of my days 

Now I'm fine 

But the dirt in my ale is at the bottom of every pint 



Finally I feel like I'm alive 

I was dying on the inside out 

I was silent today now I finally get to say 

How I've been feeling so strange 

I've been dancing on a wire with fate 

They can cramp my style but they can't take it away 



Finally I feel like I'm alive 

I was dying on the inside out 

I was silent for years now I finally get to say 

How I've been feeling so strange 

I've been dancing on a wire with fate 

They can cramp my style 

But they can't take it away
