Dictate, what you think is pivotal
Mandate, just for the sake of
Ego, controlling your decision making
The world we're missing is still ours for the takingAccelerate into isolation
Gravitate to comfort, presentation
Anxiety laden, restless confusion
No courage, no confidence, absent delusionMost of us would be lying, holding fast to denying
If we said, "We're all feeling swell and content"
All of us would be slipping backpedaling, gripping
So tight to our fragile confidenceWe're trying just to convince the world
We're something that we can't be
We are not afraid of being alone
Of being caught by ourselves with only our own thoughtsWe're trying just to convince the world
We're something that we can't be
We are not afraid of being alone
Of being caught by ourselves with only our own thoughtsActivate with hope and integrity
Honesty, the only true currency
Devastate, the guilt, not the guilty
And I promise a better night's sleepMost of us would be lying, holding fast to denying
If we said, "We're all feeling swell and content"
All of us would be slipping backpedaling, gripping
So tight to our fragile confidenceWe're trying just to convince the world
We're something that we can't be
We are not afraid of being alone
Of being caught by ourselves with only our own thoughtsWe're trying just to convince the world
We're something that we can't be
We are not afraid of being alone
Of being caught by ourselves with only our own thoughtsWe're trying just to convince the world
We're something that we can't be
We are not afraid of being alone
Of being caught by ourselves with only our own thoughtsWe're trying just to convince the world
We're something that we can't be
We are not afraid of being alone
Of being caught by ourselves with only our own thoughtsAll of us would be slipping backpedaling, gripping
So tight to our fragile confidence
