“Maybe I’m the different one” he said.
It’s easy to believe when the day is young, that you’re the one percent
That you’re a cut above the rest
But everyday is the same; he builds a castle.
Everyday is the same; he feeds the wolves.
To win the war inside he must remember, remember.
That if we don’t stop here then we won’t stop when we’re older.
And if we play these games we will lose out when they’re over.
So where was he January twenty-first?
the rubber hits the road there.
Fell back asleep; a soul dying of thirst.
The water where you left it.
But I don’t want to live like a shadow
And I won’t ever fade quietly.
To win the war inside myself I must surrender. I surrender.
And if we don’t stop here then we won’t stop when we’re older.
And if we play these games we will lose out when they’re over.
How could I be the same now that my whole life has changed?
And if we don’t stop here then we won’t stop when we’re older.
So just get me out of here.
How do we fight the civil war inside?
How do we overcome our pride?
To win the war inside I must surrender. I surrender.
