Hey, hey, hey, I keep looking for a reason to run away
[00:18.12] Dragging the weight of shame
[00:21.34] Oh no, trying so hard not to throw it a bone
[00:24.96] I hear it scratching at the screen door of a bad dream
[00:30.07] I'm all alone, sneak out the window into the night
[00:33.89] Looking over my shoulder, I hold my breath, but the dogs still bite
[00:40.45]
[00:48.78] Waking in a sweat so cold
[00:51.72] Breathing in the thrill of rock and roll
[00:54.72] Wishing I could shut it down when the crowd gets mean
[00:59.18] Looking for the fault in all my dreams
[01:02.08] Hoping I'll get dressed up for a big mess
[01:06.40] Who am I now? Have I really been ruled by the madding crowd?
[01:10.60] I keep on pleasing, I look in the mirror, who do I see?
[01:18.16] Listening for a signal, am I coming
[01:20.74] In clear through the constant noise?
[01:26.96] If they don't play it on the radio
[01:28.92] It doesn't mean I gotta turn it down
[01:35.75] I can't hear myself through the echoing doubt
[01:39.15] Surrendering to the static every time it drowns me out
[01:49.25]
[02:09.48] I knew a friend who was daring, gleaming
[02:11.98] Wanted to climb up the tallest tree
[02:15.17] Always reaching higher, dreaming was all they knew
[02:19.67] Even when the kids were laughing at school
[02:22.67] No inhibitions, they were never listening
[02:26.62] Do they look like me?
[02:28.31] Do I remember how it felt to be free?
[02:31.35] I'm the pretender and I can't recognize the truth I'm trying to find
[02:37.65] A signal, am I coming in clear through the constant noise?
[02:45.78] And if they don't play it on the radio
[02:47.95] It doesn't mean I gotta turn it down
[02:54.69] Sending out a signal, am I coming in clear through the echoing doubt?
[03:03.32] And if they don't play it on the radio
[03:05.58] It doesn't mean I'm gonna turn it down
[03:12.13] And everywhere you look, everybody's trying to keep you quiet
[03:16.88] If I surrender to the static, it'll drown me out
[03:48.95]
