Thought I could fake this thing alright

Thought it could somehow get me by

Watching the doctors as they slide

Needles into my eye



Thought I could finally get around

Laughable symptoms keep me down

Faces I see all keep me blind

And now theyre redemptions mine



Now that I cant exchange actions for words

Now that I found these inside fears the worst

Now that I know theres no place left to hide

Can I become all I thought I might



As the leaders who follow the path

Of whoever was standing round them

Call to say what Im missing

And into a detail they always go

Dont believe them but offer condolences

Under the circumstances

All too often Im missing the spirit

To fit in so call me out



Thought I could soundly sleep tonight

Positive clear and breathing right

Panic attacks, panic attacks me now

Seems like a fair redemption
