John Doe

I'm a John Doe
Call me Mr. John Doe
I'm a John Doe
Call me Mr. John Doe

I'm anonymous, nobody knows who I am
I wish I had somebody, a helping hand
But I'm all alone, cause there's nobody to trust
I've let my moral state convert to rust
I walk around, they don't even say my name
Ever since the incident, nothing's been the same
I have to keep a tight lid over my life
And without transparency nothing feels right
It's so painful just to keep everything a secret
I'm so tired of this, always feeling depleted
I guess the pain will never come to a complete stop
There's a lot of people out there who want me to drop
I'm a guy who just wants to live without fear
But instead I'm drinking like tons of beers
Cause the paranoia inside me just won't give up
I'm Mr. John Doe and I am always out of luck

John Doe, John Doe, call me John Doe
I don't know why, I don't know why
If I had wings, I'd fly to the sky
Just straight up high, just straight up high

It's just me out here, there's no one else
And I can't go to anybody for help
All I can do is look, I can't interact
It pisses me off when I can't do jack
If this feels like hell then I'm thinking about heaven
Just wondering if I could let go of the past
Cause if I can't let go, then I won't even last
But all the pain be embedded in my membrane
Driving me insane like Frasier Crane
I'm apparently the only nice guy they go after
Cause they push my buttons until they create a disaster
How long must I be hiding from these fake gangsters
How long must I wait before they meet their creator
I'm tired of being John Doe, I want to show who I am
But alas, I'm believing that life is one big sham

John Doe, John Doe, call me John Doe
I don't know why, I don't know why
If I had wings, I'd fly to the sky
Just straight up high, just straight up high

I was told that I could "be all that I could be"
And that was from watching public broadcasting
But when elitists control the whole wide world
It makes you wonder, "what's the point of being bold?"
They want you to conform not stand out from the crowd
I've seen many people get shafted for simply being loud
I've seen monsters created because they dared to defy
Makes me wish I could grow big wings and fly
Like far away to a place where all my problems don't exist
Where I could just party and drink like a fish
But alas, that'll forever remain a dream
And I'll forever remain expelled from the team
So I'm doomed to live until I D.I.E
Got me asking; oh, why why me?
I guess I tried too hard to make myself successful
Now every aspect of my life is stressful
