Lyrics
Tired
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I’m alive in here, so alive in here, pulling down a little peace
I’m open wide in here, slow to rise in here, saving grace and killing me
You say this only makes me incomplete
I’m canceled out and rendered obsolete
Tell the mad chameleon he’s not welcome anymore
I know what I’m looking for
Somewhere close, somewhere safe
Somewhere I know, I know I’ll never live in chains
The one is now aware
So stay away from me, I’m just too young to care
I can see in here, I can feel in here, comatose with common sense
I take my time in here, somebody get me out of here, what am I so against?
I just want to watch the whole world burn
Lost a million times and I won’t learn
Show me someone innocent, I'll show you there’s no proof
I may be gone but I'm no fool
I'm not close, I'm not safe
I don't know, don’t know, am I better off in chains?
The one is not aware
So stay away from me, I'm just too young to care
I need somewhere close, somewhere safe
Somewhere I know, I know I’ll never live in chains
The one is now aware
So stay away from me, I’m just too young to care
