lyrics

I'll tell you I'm okay
But the circles 'round my eyes might give me away
I've been awake for days
I just wish that I could dream
I'm too angry now to think but I'm too tired to scream
Oh, the things that I've seen

If I should lose my voice, my friends will sing for me
The one you get your orders from don't seem like a king to me
So many things I used to love no longer mean a thing to me
I'm ready for whatever life brings to me

I say I'll never leave
But my ever-restless legs, well they disagree
'Cause they're longing to flee
Every door is locked
And no one comes to answer whenever I knock
It's the same every block

Chorus

I didn't ask for pity but I'll take any words of comfort that you can give me
I didn't ask for freedom but all those rules I was following I don't need 'em
I never even took the time to read 'em

I'll listen, or I'll try
But if I should get a faraway look in my eye
I've got a lot on my mind

Chorus
