Mind in a Box - Identity Lyrics

There was this empty shell
And I called it my life
Sometimes it felt like hell
But it was easy to survive

Time was like a drain
That didn't flush me down
There was no room for pain
And not one chance to drown

I want to cut off all my ties
I need to break through all the ice
I want it to evaporate
And cease to be a surrogate

I want to raise a thunderstorm
I want to bring down all the rain
I want to be the flood that cleans
I want to know what my life means

I want to cut off all my ties
I need to break through all the ice
I want it to evaporate
And cease to be a surrogate

I want to find the strength I need
To truly follow my own lead
I want to find my destiny
And know my own identity

Identity, identity
Identity, identity
Identity, identity
Identity, identity

I got up every day
To do as I was told
I felt like a piece of clay
For someone else to mold

My suit fit me just fine
And my shirt was always clean
My thoughts, they were never mine
But there was no need to scream

I looked left and right
And they were all the same
I lay awake at night
And tried to recall my name

I got up the next day
And took a long last look
There was no time to stay
On the first page of this book

I want to cut off all my ties
I need to break through all the ice
I want it to evaporate
And cease to be a surrogate

I want to raise a thunderstorm
I want to bring down all the rain
I want to be the flood that cleans
I want to know what my life means

I want to cut off all my ties
I need to break through all the ice
I want it to evaporate
And cease to be a surrogate

I want to find the strength I need
To truly follow my own lead
I want to find my destiny
And know my own identity

Identity, identity
Identity, identity
Identity, identity
Identity, identity, identity

I want to know who I am
I want to know who I am
I want to know who I am
I want to know who I am

I want to know who I am
I want to know who I am
I want to know who I am
I want to know who I am

I want to know who I am
I want to know who I am
I want to know who I am
I want to know who I am

I want to know who I am
I want to know who I am
I want to know who I am
I want to know who I am

I want to know who I am
I want to know who I am
I want to know who I am
I want to know who I am
