Zella Mayzell - My Dear Wormwood lyrics

This is where I am This is who I am Some will say conditioned Some will say na?ve This is where I am This is who I am Some will soon fall victim To the things that used to relieve Their minds of aching pressure Their bones of tension wrought We've entered into pitfalls Knowing full well that we would be caught But it seems so easy here To forget that we're not on our own But we can't escape this These people we follow These laws they create and condone I'll do what you did before me I'll follow close your lead I'll make excuses for you And stumble till I bleed My knees rubbed raw from crawling And begging for a chance To live a life unlike yours This is where I am This is who I am They will scream conditioned And you will feel na?ve It's hard to take this and stand my ground But it's needed now and it's not just for my sake Why am I so shaky? How are you so strong? Stranger things have happened We all have nightmares But some follow us into day With all the lights out And all the doors locked We'll see how tough I am With all the lights out And all the doors locked I only have faith in his name I'll do what you did before me I'll follow close your lead I'll make excuses for you And stumble till I bleed My knees rubbed raw from crawling And begging for a chance To live a life unlike yours One full of pure romance This is way too much for you to tackle now Come back after lunch relaxed and full With a fresh mind Who knows what odd ideas Could come to you When you're shut up all alone in there Alone in there with all your books Step outside And get a healthy dose Get a healthy dose of what I call real life You can follow me down Follow me down You can follow me down now You can follow me down Follow me down You can follow me down Follow me down now You can follow me down Follow me down You can follow me down Follow me down now And the newsboy screams midday now And the 73 drives by you And the 73 drives by you And the News Boy Screams Midday The 73 drives by you And the 73 drives by you This is where I am This is who I am This is where I am This is who I am I'll do what you did before me I'll follow close your lead I'll make excuses for you And stumble till I bleed My knees rubbed raw from crawling And begging for a chance To live a life unlike yours
