Back Away
Call me mental, like a few
Call me lost if you want to
No one saw my shedded skin
Changed my colour and way of living
I've been gentle but dragged around
Kept in shackles I have not found
Now I'm not perfect but try my best
Left the classroom but could not leave the test
And oh yes life is a thrill but they keep holding us still
And I've been running like I'm running on a treadmill
And oh yes life is a thrill but they keep holding us still
And I've been running like I'm running on a treadmill
Oh get back away, get back away
If I'm something tomorrow I'll be nothing today
Get back away, get back away
If I'm something tomorrow I'll be nothing today
Quick fix the holes so the content will hold
I left so much back there in the cold
I'm second hand, I'm clearly used
Controls of the vessel have been abused
And I, and you
They want us to believe that we can choose
And they, they know
If we keep on holding we will let go
Yes life is a thrill but they keep holding us still
I've been running like I'm running on a treadmill
Yes life is a thrill but they keep holding us still
And I've been running like I'm running on a treadmill
Oh get back away, get back away
If I'm something tomorrow I'll be nothing today
Get back away, get back away
If I'm something tomorrow I'll be nothing today
I'll be nothing today
Get back away
Oh yes life is a thrill but they keep holding us still
I've been running like I'm running on a treadmill
Oh yes life is a thrill but they keep holding us still
And I've been running like I'm running on a treadmill
Oh yes life is a thrill but they keep holding us still
I've been running like I'm running on a treadmill
Oh yes life is a thrill but they keep holding us still
I've been running like I'm running on a treadmill
Oh get back away, get back away
If I'm something tomorrow I'll be nothing today
Get back away, get back away
If I'm something tomorrow I'll be nothing today
I'll be nothing today
Get back away
Call me lost if you want to
No one saw my shedded skin
Changed my colour and way of living
I've been gentle but dragged around
Kept in shackles I have not found
Now I'm not perfect but try my best
Left the classroom but could not leave the test
And oh yes life is a thrill but they keep holding us still
And I've been running like I'm running on a treadmill
And oh yes life is a thrill but they keep holding us still
And I've been running like I'm running on a treadmill
Oh get back away, get back away
If I'm something tomorrow I'll be nothing today
Get back away, get back away
If I'm something tomorrow I'll be nothing today
Quick fix the holes so the content will hold
I left so much back there in the cold
I'm second hand, I'm clearly used
Controls of the vessel have been abused
And I, and you
They want us to believe that we can choose
And they, they know
If we keep on holding we will let go
Yes life is a thrill but they keep holding us still
I've been running like I'm running on a treadmill
Yes life is a thrill but they keep holding us still
And I've been running like I'm running on a treadmill
Oh get back away, get back away
If I'm something tomorrow I'll be nothing today
Get back away, get back away
If I'm something tomorrow I'll be nothing today
I'll be nothing today
Get back away
Oh yes life is a thrill but they keep holding us still
I've been running like I'm running on a treadmill
Oh yes life is a thrill but they keep holding us still
And I've been running like I'm running on a treadmill
Oh yes life is a thrill but they keep holding us still
I've been running like I'm running on a treadmill
Oh yes life is a thrill but they keep holding us still
I've been running like I'm running on a treadmill
Oh get back away, get back away
If I'm something tomorrow I'll be nothing today
Get back away, get back away
If I'm something tomorrow I'll be nothing today
I'll be nothing today
Get back away
