Frozen
Everything still as a photograph
Rain drops suspended in air
Paradise somewhere behind your eyes
With hell in the palm of your hand
A window is clear from both sides
To see is to let them see in
So we pretend
Talkers
Filling the space between everyone
Keeping the silence at bay
Hoping that no one can read your face
While you try to
Walk like them, talk like them
Try to act lost like them
Always behaving like you've always thought like them
All the while knowing that you're only growing
In spaces and places that they'll never follow
So fake like them, break like them
Make your mistakes like them
All until you can make peace
That you'll never fit in
Dreamers
Painting the walls of our wishing wells
Hoping some light can get in
While lost in the dark just like everyone
So we all just
Walk like them, talk like them
Try to act lost like them
Catch ourselves faking that we've always thought like them
All the while knowing the people we're showing
Are also in costume
The seeds aren't worth sewing
So hide like them, lie like them
Never decide like them
Biding our time 'til we can
Believe what they say
Running
Shedding the skin that they wrapped you in
Your backbone just won't let you bend
Losing the need to compare yourself
While losing the will to pretend that you care if you
Walk like them, talk like them
Try to act tough like them
Spit in the wind and then blame all the world like them
Caught in the middle with all second fiddles
Behaving like nothing is ever the same
So we hide like them, lie like them
Turn a blind eye like them
Biding your time until you can at last slip away
