[Chorus]
Sometimes when I was younger, I'd think I was above
Up high, I was escaping, and I was enough
They say this is a painting, one stroke, everything changes
I think I am a-breaking, and I was enough
[Verse 1]
The doctor, he has called me, said he'd check my brain
The cells are rearranging and the dopamine has changed
Said, "Hey, just settle down my friend, it doesn't mean you're broken
It's just that everyone else around you, well, thеy haven't spoken"
[Verse 2]
They say, way up in thе sky, there's a permanent institution
And it saves you from a life of a-pondering your execution
But I don't think I'm going there, at least that's what it seems
I think the ground beneath my feet is subtle as it seems
[Verse 3]
Says, "Come on home to me, lay your weary head
And no one here will judge you but the thoughts inside your head"
'Cause if I wanna believe in something, you say I'm wrong
Everything is circumstantial, everything's a song
[Pre-Chorus]
Wanna dance with the wicked, cry with the saints
I don't believe in answers and I don't believe in fate
Wanna pray to a god who tells me everything
And not just in my heart, 'cause, well, that's actually me
[Chorus]
Sometimes when I was younger, I'd think I was above
Up high, I was escaping, and I was enough
They say this is a painting, one stroke, everything changes
I think I am a-breaking, and I was enough
[Verse 4]
The preacher, he is preaching, the scientist, he mocks
And so they say he's sinning and lost among the flocks
But could it be we all are lost and reaching in the dark?
Faces in a crowd spinning keys inside a lock
[Bridge]
I don't pretend to know the things I did when I was young
But sometimes, when it's late at night, I wish I could become
Young for one more day, knowing what to say
Is someone there to help me or to make me feel okay?
And I'm tired of all these voices screaming in the dark
Why don't you see the truth you preach is breaking us apart?
'Cause if I wanna believe in something, you say I'm wrong
Everything is circumstantial, everything's a song
[Pre-Chorus]
Wanna dance with the wicked, cry with the saints
I don't believe in answers and I don't believe in fate
Wanna pray to a god who tells me everything
And not just in my heart, 'cause, well, that's actually me
[Chorus]
Sometimes when I was younger, I'd think I was above
Up high, I was escaping, and I was enough
They say this is a painting, one stroke, everything changes
I think I am a-breaking, and I was enough
