lyrics

I've been inside my room for days,
And outside the world has run away,
It seems impossible to capture, ah oh.

And I know why you have cast me out
I know without a shred of doubt
But the truth makes me want
to hide away for years and years and years...

I've felt explosionary rage,
Lost in a suicidal haze,
I know what I want but I can't
get out of my own way.

And I know I've been asleep for
years
I know my life's not finished
yet
I know I have to be so brave, so brave,
so brave, so brave, be brave!

I feel like I'm locked away -
I know no one has the answers.

It seems mysterious to me -
Because I won't take chances.

I make excuses for myself
I stutter, stammer, and corell.
It's only because I am so afraid,
afraid, afraid.

You ask me for plans I've made,
I cannot answer, I'm dismayed
It's not that I don't have desires.
Oh no, oh no!

You realize I am so ashamed
Of this disgusting mess I've made
I try to hide it and you'll witness it
I know! I know!

And I know I have to fix it up,
But I fear I cannot do enough.
I know I have to be so brave, so brave,
so brave, so brave, be brave!

I feel like I'm locked away -
I know no one has the answers.

It seems mysterious to me -
Because I won't take chances.

I feel like I'm locked away -
I know no one has the answers.

It seems mysterious to me -
Because I won't take chances.

I feel like I'm locked away -
I know no one has the answers.

It seems mysterious to me -
Because I won't take chances.
