Turn me on and face me to the world 
Back me up far enough 
So I can watch and learn how I'm supposed to be 
Through these eyes in my head 
Life begins the wheels start to spin around 

Don't live in fantasies 
Just be on your way 
Here's a list of all your priorities 
Make us proud to say: 
We're the parents of a good machine 
Keep your eyes straight ahead 
Take your vitamins like we said 
You'll be fine 
I guess your first test is to see how you can fit in 

Finally I feel like I'm alive 
I was nothing but a dream in disguise 
I was silent before now I finally get to say 
How I see it all so strange 
My destiny is on a timeline with fate 
Let me dream awhile 
For the chance of a life to be 

Nine to five now systems overload 
Just trying to get by living in the mode: 
Work first then find the time 
To drink it away 
To try and hide depressions of my days 
Now I'm fine 
But the dirt in my ale is at the bottom of every pint 

Finally I feel like I'm alive 
I was dying on the inside out 
I was silent today now I finally get to say 
How I've been feeling so strange 
I've been dancing on a wire with fate 
They can cramp my style but they can't take it away 

Finally I feel like I'm alive 
I was dying on the inside out 
I was silent for years now I finally get to say 
How I've been feeling so strange 
I've been dancing on a wire with fate 
They can cramp my style 
But they can't take it away
