They look at me like I'm strange
What a feeling
When they hear my songs
They don't get it
(They don't get me)
They give me two for flinching
Every time I blink
You know you're doing it right
When it feels lonely
(The truth can be lonely)
Flatline lullaby
The choir sings me goodnight
But I'm wide awake and I'm screaming
So take your foot out your mouth
Kick me again while I'm down
All the shadows you cast
Won't black me out
I am the uninvited
I am the color red
The name attached to your mouth
Though you try to forget
(But you can't forget)
Flatline lullaby
The choir sings me goodnight
But I'm wide awake and I'm screaming
Face in the dirt
Stars in my eyes
They say my dream are too bright
I say "to who?"
They don't burn for you
Another sheep dead asleep
Counting your blessings
I'm blessed but I'm stretching
In every direction
Flatline lullaby
The choir sings me goodnight
But I'm wide awake and I'm screaming
The status quo is not my friend
I never want to be like them
