written on the page are words you won't tell me
words are now your sword you cut me down
i lie waiting
we're all broken hurting
exposed raw heart takes it
pressure cooker's building up
hold on
everybody's begging to be liked
it's not real
everybody's begging to be watched
it's not seen
the truth is in the minds of the free
see me for real
open your eyes
you can't take back what you said
now it's out there
i will snap right back and bite your head off and
spit it out
so here i stand
all just weird and out there
i will hold my head up proudly
hold on
everybody's begging to be liked
it's not real
everybody's begging to be watched
it's not seen
the truth is in the minds of the free
see me for real
open your eyes
see me for real
we can dance and sing and
not conform and fill
our lives with all this
emptiness
hold on
everybody's begging to be liked
it's not real
everybody's begging to be watched
it's not seen
the truth is in the minds of the free
see me for real
open your eyes
see me for real
