Now it's time
To shake it all up to be free
Now it's time
To make us some room
To let us be
Oh, it feels so bad
Yes it feels so bad
When everything good
Looks so bad
When everything right
Goes so wrong
I am up, to break it all
Down what's in my way
I won't stop, until I am
Where I'm going to stay
No one holds me back
No, no one holds me back
Don't wanna be what I'm not
But it's gotta be myself
Who breaks my neck
(Over my head
Look over my head
you won't see no halo)
I look here and you look there
I know it's got to be somewhere
We look around and search around
And walk around and hear around
We keep on looking
'Til we know what for
(It's driving me mad
I must hold it back inside)
If you don't know it
I don't know it
We don't know it
Who will know it?
All of us don't know
What we should know
Maybe one day we'll know
But anyway we've got
To make a stop
When the sinner searches sin
It's all of us
When we finally search inside
It's under us
We keep on looking anyway
If we don't find it
Who must pay?
All I've ever done
I've done to you
In my mind, the battle
Goes on 'til I give up
Will we find the key of life
We once have dropped?
Do you really care?
Tell me you really care!
You may find Mr. Blame
But the guilt of life
Burns everywhere
(Over my head
Look over my head
You won't see no halo)
Give me light to see my inside
Give me light to see my sin
I'd never do what I regret
I've never done anything bad
You must be joking
When you point at me!
(It's driving me mad
I must hold it back inside)
Hey! Don't you blame me!
Don't you touch me!
Won't you ever leave me be?
I wanna live! Don't wanna think!
Why should I give what I can drink?
Man! Life is short so
I take what I need!
When the sinner searches sin
It's all of us
When we finally search inside
It's under us
We keep on looking anyway
If we don't find it
Who must pay?
All I've ever done
I've done to you!
Pain!
I feel inside it's such a
Shame!
No one fights fair, but who's to
Blame?
Might be the game of life
But it ain't over
Now!
I walk my way firm any
How!
My conscience speaks
And there are
Doubts!
But nothing's sure in life
And it ain't over
Now!
(Over my head
Look over my head
you won't see no halo)
I look here and you look there
I know it's got to be somewhere
We look around and search around
And walk around and hear around
We keep on looking
'Til we know what for
(It's driving me mad
I must hold it back inside)
If you don't know it
I don't know it
We don't know it
Who will know it?
All of us don't know
What we should know
Maybe one day we'll know
But anyway we've got
To make a stop
When the sinner searches sin
It's all of us
When we finally search inside
It's under us
We keep on looking anyway
If we don't find it
Who must pay?
All I've ever done
I've done to you
