Song In My Head
There's a song in my head
Oh a line that never stops playing
I'm not sure how it ends
I can't remember when
I heard what you were saying
I make the best out of the worst
I make up half the words
And wear a t-shirt of a band
I've never heard because it hurts
To be on the outside looking in
Well I do my best to listen, but i'm uncomfortable with too much silence
From the passenger seat you said what does that mean
I said I'm learning to live with the violence, violence, but I'm not the kind that
Wants to be lost I don't wanna be forgotten
I don't wanna pretend that it's alright
I wanna see these walls
Crumble and dissolve
Around me
I got my gold-rimmed diploma
Wearing a square crown
The class of fourteen wore their capes like
A reverend's gown
All that education won't help us now
Attending funerals and watching friends
Break their vows
There's not much that I can protect
So I keep my good humor alive
Nothing disturbs your intellect
Like feeling something you can't deny, justify
I don't wanna be lost I don't wanna be forgotten
I don't wanna pretend that it's alright
I wanna see these walls
Crumble and dissolve around me
Saturday morning 11am
Heard mom and dad talking money again
Fit a seven person family in a five seater van
I guess all you can do is the best that you can
Dad pushed it all down with a Gibson in his hand
To finish that song that never had an end
I can still hear that song in my head
In my head
Information, education, given in love
Questions digest like sugar in my blood
Holding together what's meant to fall apart
Justify a reason for the way things are
I don't wanna be lost
I don't wanna be forgotten
I got reason to believe that I just might
One day see these walls crumble and dissolve
Around me
I'm not afraid, not afraid to lose
It's a voice that I can't refuse
Maybe I don't have a right to choose when it calls my name
