[Verse 1]
She pulls down the shade letting in all of the light
Screaming in vain as I'm losing my sight
Grabbing on the bedpost as she's pulling on my feet
Over me with grin she says "this is exactly what you need"
Then she said
"someday you'll wake up and see that this was for your own good"
[Verse 2]
Sitting at the table with everybody else
Lacking motivation where I'm pressured to excel
These notes that bend and ring up in the corner of my mind
Separate the difference of what is theirs and what is mine
And sing
[Chorus 1]
"Someday you'll wake up and see that
This was for your own good"
But I'm sick and tired of waiting
For things to be the way they already should
And the truth they live by
Is a truth told of lies
Doesn't take much
More than one touch
To realize
That I can fight
Too

[Bridge]
Maybe this is just a speech that would be better left unsaid
Maybe all this pressure is finally going to my head
Maybe it's from TV where I developed these obsessions
As a result of ma** anxiety and the by-product of isolation
So please forgive me for all these things and understand it's not defiance
I asked for all the answers but all I got was splitting silence
So now I'm breaking out by breaking in mans one small step is now a leap
After all I only work so hard but what I really want is sleep but
[Chorus 2]
"Some day you'll wake up and see that
This was for your own good"
But I'm sick and tired of waiting
For things to be the way they already should
So you wait idly by
Found your truth to be a lie
Stood your ground
And slowly found
And realized
That I can fight
Too
[Instrumental]
