I want to drive away In the night, headlights call my name I, I'll never be, be what you see inside You say I'm not alone, but I am petrified You say that you are close, is close the closest star? You just feel twice as far, you just feel twice as far And I'll fall And I'll break And I'll fake All I wanna And I'll fall down And I'll break down And I'll fake you out All I wanna I'm so afraid Of what you have to say 'Cause I am quiet now And silence gives you space I'll never be, be what you see inside You say I'm not alone, but I am petrified You say that you are close, is close the closest star? You just feel twice as far, you just feel twice as far And I'll fall And I'll break And I'll fake All I wanna And I'll fall down And I'll break down And I'll fake you out All I wanna It's the same game today as it always is I don't give these places fake my name explaining this And the wrists of my mind have the bleeding lines That remind me of all the times I have committed Dirty dirty crimes that are perfectly form-fitted To what I've done and what I'm doing I'm brewing and losing and spewing infusing And believe me that's what all the kids are doing What kids are doing are killing themselves They feel they have no control of their prisoner's cell And if you're one of them then you're one of me And you would do almost anything just to feel free Am I right, of course I am Convince me otherwise would take all night Before you walk away, there's one more thing I want to say Our brains are sick but that's okay I'll fake you out I'll fake you out And I'll break down I'll fake you out And I'll fall And I'll break And I'll fake All I wanna I'll fake you out I'll fake you out I'll fake you out And I'll break down I'll fake you out I'll fake you out I'll fake you out And I'll break down All I wanna Yeah, and I'll fall down And I'll break down And I'll fake you out All I wanna Yeah, and I'll fall down And I'll break down And I'll fake you out All I wanna I'm so afraid Of what you have to say 'Cause I am quiet now And silence gives you space
